King’s Lynn couple fight for change in law to help disabled people
A Lynn couple are calling for a change in the law to force businesses to improve the toilet facilities that are available on offer to disabled people.
Trevor Smith is a carer for his wife, Susan, who has severe cerebral palsy and is a wheelchair user.
Because of her condition, Mrs Smith only has strength in her right arm and needs a handrail to hold onto when she goes to the toilet.
But the couple, of King George V Avenue, say not enough is being done to ensure that suitable facilities are provided for disabled customers.
