Closed petition PE1956: Increase the provision of wheelchair accessible homes.
Calling on the Scottish Parliament to urge the Scottish Government to review the existing Wheelchair Accessible Housing Target guidance, and to explore options for increasing the availability of wheelchair accessible housing in Scotland.
Previous action taken
I have tried raising this issue with my MP and MSPs.
Background information
I have been trying to get moved for around 5/6 years due to a neighbour dispute. Midlothian Council say that there aren’t enough wheelchair accessible homes to be able to offer me another, more suitable, house.
