The Citizen Participation and Public Petitions Committee will conclude its work in March 2026 ahead of the next Scottish Parliament election. While it will continue to meet, the Committee has agreed it will not consider petitions submitted after 10 October. This is to ensure all petitions currently in the system can be considered before the next Scottish Parliament election. It is also unlikely that the Committee would be able to schedule and meaningfully progress petitions submitted after 10 October before the election. Contact the Committee team at petitions.committee@parliament.scot for more information about the petitions process.
If you are seeking emergency action or an urgent policy change please contact one of your 8 MSPs or the Scottish Government directly
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.
