Mum's fury after council wipes out front garden to install £40k disabled ramp

[Chippiewill]

It's very rare that I am shocked by the stupidity of politicians.... but for the first time in a long time I have to say: i'm shocked.

This wasn't politicians.

And to cap it all, local youths have hijacked it as a skateboard run.

Glad to see a council which recognises multiple use facilities.

Can't say it adds value

Why not just put a ramp up the stairs :S

Good God man, are you crazy?! Do you know how many health and safety regulations you would have to pass?

Presumably it would be too steep and if the girl were to accidentally roll down it in her condition it could be potentially damaging in the long run. What doesn't make sense is why the council gave them this house in particular. What would have made sense if to give a bungalow or at the very least a house which isn't up a slope.

This is pretty ridiculous. In fairness, she didn't pay for it and technically it's not her house so there's not a lot she can do really

[wixard]

oh my god i am dead!

it would literally take 5 minutes to get in and out of your house HAHAHAHAHAH
imagine you needed a pee

Someone dumbass who probably can't spell his own name. I realise now the health and safety risks

The person in charge obviously did that just to piss her off. Fire the person in charge of giving the go ahead to build it. There would have to be other ramps they could build ;l

[Alkaz]

Atleast they still have the steps to use and although it is stupid that the planners allowed this but it does look like the council have done a good job building it!
