Hi everyone, can you please help me with my cause. i currently live in my own tenancy and strive to be as independent as possible. however my house one major flaw. It is not adapted at the back door which means i only have one accessible way out of my house. this is something the local authority refuse to help me with as it is their policy to only adapt once side of a property.

this may sound ridiculous but it is true. So in order for me to feel safe in my own home and have two fire exits in my house i have now been granted permission by the council to independently fund the required adaptations. My front door has failed on on several occasions which has resulted in me being trapped within my home until repairs have been done which has taken as long as five days.

Other who live in a house without a disability have no issue getting in or out of their house at anytime and don't have the added stress of what would happen should there one exit fail. I also spent this summer not being able to enjoy the warm weather that we had in the privacy of my own back garden, something that everyone else may take for granted.

Please share and donate to help remove this barrier.
