#AccessDeniedDiaries by Debby

"I’ve noticed that mobility parks seem to be shrinking 🅿️ in some mall carparks, or they’re designed with a ‘dual’ access area, meaning you can only access the park from one side. Sure, you could back into the park, but then it’s difficult to get a wheelchair ♿ out of the boot. 

This setup is not practical for many wheelchair users, and it makes something as simple as going to the mall feel like an unnecessary challenge."
