The Scottish Parliament is in recess from 28 June to 31 August. We will respond to petitions as soon as we can.
If your petition is seeking emergency action or an urgent policy change, we would advise you to contact one of your 8 MSPs or the Scottish Government directly. Please be aware that the public petitions process is a thorough and often lengthy process and is not designed to respond to emergencies.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.

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.
