I'm unsure whether there are provisions/contingencies in place for problems such as these, but would expect polling station staff to help

Would be interesting to find out if they're expected/prepared to do so - supermarket-style approach to spare w/c would be pretty easy...

There's definitely an argument that the building should simply be accessible to begin with. There should never be any barriers to democracy.

Yeah mobility scooters can't do steps. Get a ramp, and get the station audited by someone w broad based knowledge of access measures

Oh what a good idea - I see a student research project in the offing ... @HSciences #occupationaltherapy

If that works, but only if they've got relevant expertise! Dunno what norms and resources are here, finding that out would be good

The occupational therapists taught access/law/audits but opportunities/reasons to apply to this particular issue would be brill learning and

would need to be collaborative with local groups etc - politics in action ....

Sounds like an incredibly synchronicitous space for some fruitful collaboration all round since I wonder re budgets for expertise here

Love that we've got to this point in less than 10 tweets too! Amazing!

Me too! Seems so incredibly obvious now..! Should ask Gary Poulson @Volunteeringace too
