We rent a flat and our son Tom, aged fourteen, uses a powered wheelchair. As anyone will know who has tried to rent a wheelchair accessible property, such properties are few and far between. Happily, we found a suitable flat, but the parking space is very tight indeed for a wheelchair accessible van. In fact, when the other spaces are filled, it’s actually impossible for Tom to get into the van and to get the van in or out.
I contacted the management company to ask about possible solutions to the parking problem, and, unwisely, suggested a solution. They replied that the proposed solution was impossible, that I was aware when I rented the flat of what the parking arrangements were, and that they were unable to assist me any further in this matter.
