A small change can make a huge difference to accessibility! ♿
Recently, I submitted an urgent request to Fermanagh and Omagh District Council regarding dangerous access to the Riverside Walk from Drumragh Avenue at the OASIS Plaza in Omagh.
A large, difficult-to-see obstruction was creating serious difficulties for wheelchair users and had reportedly resulted in people falling from their wheelchairs.
This wasn't just an inconvenience. It was a genuine safety concern.
I'm delighted to say that the Council acted immediately and improvements have now been made to ensure safer access for disabled people.
A big thank you to Fermanagh and Omagh District Council for listening, taking the concerns seriously and acting so quickly.
This is what happens when accessibility concerns are listened to and acted upon. Small changes can make a massive difference to people's safety and independence.
