On Wednesday 3rd May 06 I met Mr Steve Hunt of IBC at this spot shown in the picture. He agreed that wheelchair users could not get past this gate but able bodied people could. I was given to understand he would consider putting a RADAR gate here so wheelchair users would be able to access Braziers Wood just as able bodied folks could as the DDA was being breeched here. I am very disappointed the result today is that in order to avoid discriminating against wheelchair users IBC are now preventing anyone accessing here by http://static.flickr.com/24/141601722_a905f7cec7_b.jpg yes of course more fencing. It is so much easier to deny access than to grant it if somebody is determined to build their own empire. Incidently I was surprised that Mr Steve Hunt knew I had made an application under the Freedom Of Information Act to discover just how much council tax payers money is being spent here. Before IBC bought Bridgewood off the Dutchman every and anybody could access both Braziers Wood and Bridgewood and now they seem determined to challenge the local chavs to do their worst by attempting to exclude them from this area unless they bow down and submit to this. Already cars are being burnt out on the estate I live on instead of being just dumped here where they can be easily removed and nothing else gets damaged such as recently happened when a burning car ignited others near it.
