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.

This afternoon, I visited Translink's Omagh Bus Station for a very constructive meeting with station manager Sean to discuss accessibility on our buses, particularly the Goldliner services.

Having experienced my fair share of difficulties travelling by bus, I wanted to highlight some of the problems disabled passengers face and, more importantly, discuss how we can improve things.

We talked about the importance of Translink's future bus procurement, particularly the need for low-floor access and at least two wheelchair spaces. These changes would make a massive difference to disabled passengers who simply want to travel independently, safely and with dignity.

I also had the opportunity to meet the two new station inspectors. We discussed the importance of having staff available to assist disabled passengers and ensuring that any accessibility issues are addressed quickly, rather than leaving people stranded or facing unnecessary delays.

A big thank you to Sean and Omagh Bus Station staff for taking the time to listen and engage so positively.

Accessible public transport shouldn't be a privilege. It should be something every passenger can rely on.

Whether travelling to a neighbouring village, town or city, disabled people deserve the same freedom and confidence to travel as everyone else.

There's still work to be done, but conversations like today's are an important part of making that happen.

The UK Budget offers some relief, but what does it really mean for disabled people in Northern Ireland?

With the Timms Review examining PIP and Stormont still unable to agree a Budget, our independence remains caught in political uncertainty.

I've shared my thoughts on what this means for our everyday lives.

🎃♿ Disability is NOT a Halloween costume.

But I'm a disabled cosplayer who incorporates my disability into costumes. So what's the difference? 🤔

There's a fine line between representation and appropriation. And it matters.

👀 Watch to find out where that line is.

💬 Where do YOU draw the line?

Channel 4's The Experiment was deeply disturbing.

What frightened me most wasn't just the recreation of N**i propaganda, but how easily people accepted stripping disabled people of their independence, especially when money could be saved.

I've written about why this should concern us all.

⏰ The clocks go back this weekend. An extra hour in bed sounds great, doesn't it?

But have you ever considered how changing the clocks affects disabled people?

For many of us, our daily lives are built around carefully planned routines, personal assistance, medication, managing chronic pain and conserving energy.

Even a one-hour change can disrupt those routines.

Then there's the darker evenings.

When you're a wheelchair user, poorly lit footpaths, inaccessible public transport and unsafe pedestrian routes can make getting out and about even more challenging.

And for some neurodivergent people, changes to familiar routines can create additional stress and anxiety.

I'm not suggesting every disabled person experiences these difficulties. But for those who do, the impact is very real.

🎥 I've put together this short reel explaining seven ways the clock change can affect disabled people.

For some, it's just an extra hour in bed. For others, it's another barrier to independence.

Accessibility and support shouldn't depend on what time the clocks say.

Today was another reminder of just how far public transport in Northern Ireland still has to go when it comes to accessibility.

I travelled on the Goldliner 273 from Omagh to Belfast for a meeting with IMTAC and Translink to test the accessibility of the new Enterprise train design.

But getting there and back was an absolute nightmare!

🚌 **Arriving at Belfast Grand Central Station**, the bus platform lift developed a serious mechanical fault, leaving me trapped on the bus for 30 minutes. Eventually, the lift had to be operated manually to get me off.

🚌 **On the return journey**, a refuse bag had been left in the wheelchair space, meaning I had to sit facing it the entire journey back to Omagh.

🚌 **Worse still, my wheelchair wasn't properly secured.** As we travelled along the back roads around Dungannon, my wheelchair started sliding. A frightening and completely unacceptable experience.

Thankfully, Will was able to sort out the problem at Dungannon Bus Station.

**This is not just an inconvenience. This is my safety, my independence and my dignity we're talking about!**

The irony of travelling to Belfast to help improve accessibility on our railways, only to experience these failures on our buses, isn't lost on me.

I've been telling Translink and the Department for Infrastructure for years that platform lifts are outdated, unreliable and a barrier to independent travel.

**Well, I'm finished asking. I'm now DEMANDING change!**

We need LOW-FLOOR ACCESS on ALL buses. No more dangerous platform lifts. No more being left stranded. No more excuses.

Disabled people deserve safe, reliable and dignified public transport, just like everyone else.

**Accessibility is not a luxury. It's a RIGHT!**

£1 million for Community Transport is welcome, but there's still a long road ahead!

I welcome Infrastructure Minister Liz Kimmins' announcement of £1 million to help Northern Ireland's 13 Community Transport providers purchase new minibuses.

As a disabled person living in rural County Tyrone, I know only too well how important accessible transport is to our independence and everyday lives.

For many disabled people, older people and those living in isolated rural communities, Community Transport isn't a luxury. It's an essential service that allows people to attend appointments, go shopping, meet friends and participate in society.

But here's the reality.

This investment will replace just 13 of the 27 vehicles identified as needing priority replacement. That leaves another 14 still requiring attention.

And while new vehicles are welcome, we also need proper long-term investment in the services themselves, including drivers, operating costs, accessible booking arrangements and reliable availability.

We must also ensure new vehicles meet the needs of wheelchair users and people with different disabilities.

Accessible transport is about equality, independence and choice. It should never depend on where you live or whether funding happens to be available.

I welcome this announcement, but I want to see a properly funded, sustainable and inclusive Community Transport network across Northern Ireland.

Because nobody should be left isolated simply because they cannot access suitable transport.
