The petition is to try and make people aware of the barriers disabled people have when in public places. As a disabled person myself, I find it difficult to always feel involved in society through the barriers I face. I believe that we should all be equal in the public places we can access and feel comfortable. All public places should have disabled access and toilets that are not unisex. Also, barriers involving pavements as there are not enough dropped curbs.

I have been reading your stories about the daily frustrations of navigating stairs and curbs and I want you to know how much your honesty fuels this mission. Behind the scenes I am busy reaching out to local planners to discuss why these simple infrastructure changes are non-negotiable for our community.

Seeing this level of support reminds me that I am not alone in fighting for a world that welcomes everyone. It humbles me to know so many people see the struggle for basic access as a priority. This momentum proves that change is finally within our reach.

Trying to get a dropped curb to access the local park with my daughter. Currently have to do a detour of approx. 200 metres to access play park in a wheelchair .

its 2017 why is this still an issue. everyone deserves to get around without needing help just to enter a building.

YES! PLEASE FIX THIS. sick of needing a key for the hidden toilet in the back of the building that is usually out of order anyway.

My son uses a wheelchair and we literally cant get into half the local shops because of the steps even when they say they have access its just a nightmare half the time.
