LYMM Parish Council has teamed up with local charity Warrington Disability Partnership to investigate accessibility issues in the village for residents and visitors.
If you are a resident or visitor to the village with a physical disability, hearing loss, blind or partially sighted, or neuro-diverse, then the Parish Council would like to hear from you.
A small working group of Councillors and residents is being set up in order to identify the issues faced by residents and visitors, and what additional support needs the Parish Council might be able to help with. Although the Parish Council is restricted in what it can achieve, bigger ideas can be brought to the attention of Warrington Borough Council.
Cllr Denis McAllister said: “In 2024, I had an accident which led to surgery on my leg and a subsequent 10-week recovery spent largely in a wheelchair. It was the first time that I experienced
having my mobility restricted in such a way and rapidly understood the limitations it imposes on one. These were things that I had heard about but didn’t properly appreciate until I experienced
them for myself. I then decided that I would use my role as a councillor to engage with people for whom these are everyday problems.”
If you would like to be involved or want to make a contribution, please get in touch with: Cllr Denis McAllister 07977 970 238 e: dmcallister@lymmparishcouncil.gov.uk or Cllr Jenna Brown 07483 218 630 e: jbrown@lymmparishcouncil.gov.uk
