The Council’s Disability Equality Scheme is a legally enforceable document issued under the names of Cllr Steve Foulkes, Cllr Moira McLoughlin and chief executive Steve Maddox.

In it they commit the council to carry out an Equality Impact Assessment of any scheme that will impact on the disabled.

In it the council is committed to consult with the disabled if the scheme affects them.

So far I have not heard that they have started those actions.

I am trying to get them to meet those legal obligations with regard to the plans for West Kirby. So far without success.

No political party has stood up for the disabled. That is distressing.

Is no party going to defend the legal rights of the disabled?

Tony Baker, West Kirby.
