Hot on the heels of yesterday’s @housinglin.bsky.social Symposium in Welshpool and contributions from Dr Sam Clark & Prof Juliet Davis, Cardiff School of Architecture, look what was posted through my letterbox today! Look forward to reading their Chapter on Appleby Blue (also the cover design!)
Accessible housing in the UK has come a long way — from 1999 headlines to DDA & Equality Act frameworks. But true accessibility is still inconsistent.
