Durham county council: Accessibility Denied ⛔

-

So this is what the council and binmen think of disability and accessibility huh!


There's no way I can sort that as they've literally blocked me in so I can't open the gate to even attempt to move it and it's on its side.


Thank you so much for caring about us disabled, it's not like our life is hard enough...

Durham County Council 🥺


Update: I spoke to a kind lady via the telephone and the council are sending someone out to move it for me. I am down as an assisted individual due to my dynamic disabilities, the lady was kind and polite and very helpful and updated the account and I just need to wait for an email to come through.

I still needed to document this because there is a lot of space in the whole drive they could have placed it and they chose to place it where I'm blocked.

I know an abled bodied person may be able to shove it or kick it but I would struggle picking it back up as I'm achy today, that's if I shoved at it with my walking stick through the gap in the gate.

I'm pleased the council have been notified of the matter and they are rectifying it.

Thankfully I don't have any appointments or anything to get to this morning so it's not as problematic as it could have been.

I'm done with Bishop Auckland college:

I got a very unprofessional email (linkedin message) today after promoting the college and resharing several courses I shared this: A colleague had been informed that due to numbers the policing course can't go ahead. (My formal complaint via email is at the bottom of this blog post) So I simply shared a list of their nutritional courses (also helpful) and added if anyone was interested in the level three policing course to enroll asap (based on the information provided we didn't want to lose the course) I received this: I still haven't heard anything official from the college yet and I'm not happy with being told I'm not allowed to share courses to enrol. But to be honest the accusations of misinformation irk me to my core especially without any official correction or context. So I've blocked Adam on LinkedIn and I'm done with Bishop Auckland College now. I am removing myself SO FAST from everyone and everywhere that chooses disrespect over thoughtfulness. ...

Ramside Hall and Northern Housing Consortium:

I am excited to say that the event at Ramside Hall went spectacularly well, I attended with my best friend Corin and we had such a lovely time. I gave a wonderful speech as to how Northern Housing Consortium has helped me spectacularly with a bursary for my start up business www.magnoliaphotography.co.uk and I happily share the quoted speech I gave below:  " As a start-up business, I initially struggled to  meet the demands of contractual work. Creating art by finger painting on my phone screen was time-consuming, imprecise, and physically challenging. This made it difficult to meet my clients' expectations for detail and speed. Living with chronic pain and disabilities only added to these difficulties. When I learned through Livin Futures that Northern Housing Consortium was offering a start-up bursary, I immediately applied for a drawing tablet, hoping it could change the way I work. Receiving the bursary has been truly transformative. With my new drawing tablet, I can now ...

Cheers 😔 see: https://pgpandspd.blogspot.com/2024/06/hacked-stickers-betrayal-and-pride.html I got off the phone to Paul Howarth yesterday, whilst I'm with my son in public in a cafe, the ADM meet didn't go ahead, but we stayed anyway and my son encouraged me to merely enquire about the article and why my image was not printed, Paul stated it was a space issue but I explained he'd spliced images before and how much would it cost to get the photo in the paper so I can feel positively represented by my home town as a Newtonian since his only reason was the article was FREE, anyway he got rude and abruptly stated he does a LOT for ADM and it's ALL FREE and that he feels I'm being REALLY UNFAIR and hung u...
