Struggles ahead for our cities disabled

Glen from Central Whangarei

Question for WDC, a bit of an old one but never resolved, we don't want disabled people to struggle more than others.

3 years ago WDC removed parking concessions for the disabled, we used to have the same concessions as over 70s

I would like to see this reviewed with some urgency.

My personal feeling on how WDC passed the law removing parking concessions from the disabled just showed a total we do not care, because we do not understand ableism in the extreme.

Disability awareness training if they do any they have used the same consultants for 15 years, clearly, after 15 years they can assume the training is not working.
If things are not working do it differently.

There is almost no real understanding within the council that a disabled person is a person.

Think if one of these sitting councilors running council has a stroke and that could happen tomorrow.

Will that mean nobody will talk to them anymore will they be shunned.

Will they be fined for parking too long? How can they be penalized for their crime of having a stroke?

Let's look at a young kid who falls off his bike hits his head, has to learn to walk again, by removing their parking concessions WDC you have made life harder for these people.

Sir John Key thinks lying and corruption is okay

Tel from Tikipunga

I thought he was better than that. This - www.stuff.co.nz... - is what he said.
He objects to Harris because she supports schemes such as health care and instead supports someone who thought drinking bleach was a cure for covid.

Without a bridle or a saddle, across a thing, I ride a-straddle. And those I ride, by help of me, though almost blind, are made to see. What am I?
