Has anyone seen the disabled ramp the council have built for the family in West Dumbartonshire??? Who in the name of god designed it???
Its on Yahoo, but did not know if I can post the link. Defo worth a look. It looks like something out of Alton Towers!  |

"Should have made a steeper ramp n bought her an electronic motorized wheelchair.. would have cost less than 40 grand"
There's a limit to the incline powered chairs can handle - unless tweaked by Jeremy Clarkson. |

Steepness of the ramp can't be more than x, so to get that gradient, you need the length hence the zig zag...I'm pretty sure what was proposed was said to the woman.
The post man still has the steps on the side.
I think the moral is, careful what you ask or wish for.

We've just been assessed for a ramp ... they can only have so much of an incline, and they also have to have flat spots to allow a wheelchair to rest.
Add it all up, and a 24" lift over 10' needs a *lot* of area. |
