And I got no reply when I wrote to the Minister for Disability about the accessible housing crisis... 🏘

Breaking from @cjayanetti.bsky.social @theguardian.com: Our #BarriersAtHome report reveals official data suggesting only 3% of new housing approved in London will be accessible, far short of the 90% in the London plan.
For many of us, this is no surprise. (1/3)

The Guardian logo. Screenshot of article. Housing. Only 3% of new housing approved in London is accessible, study finds. Shocking shortage of suitable homes for disabled and elderly, with less than 1% designed for wheelchair users. Chaminda Jayanetti. The low compliance rates are despite Mayor Sadiq Khan setting out that all new housing should meet one of these standards. Highlighted in yellow: Inclusion London’s report, which will be published next week, sets out the housing difficulties faced by disabled people in the capital, and highlights the harm inaccessible housing causes to disabled people’s mental and physical health.

My disability advocacy work for the day...
Email saying: Hi lastminute.com, When I made my booking, there was no way to select an accessible room, or inform my hotel that I needed one. May I suggest that you add this functionality onto your website. Thank you in advance for being a disability ally, Sophie Christiansen CBE
