Disabled ex-services guy has to crawl to the toilet in temporary housing

So much for disability adaptations.

In this episode, I talk with Mr T, who has been in a wheelchair since a serious traffic accident. 

East Devon is his council. His council home had very bad leaks, mould and flooding. The floorboards were so rotten that his wheelchair went through them. Great stuff from the council there.  

Anyway, the council put him in a non-adapted temporary flat where he can't turn his wheelchair around. 

Upshot is that Mr T has to drag himself down the hall to the loo which he sometimes misses. He also sleeps on the floor, because getting into his wheelchair at night for a trip to the bathroom is too hard. 

I can't tell you how pleased I am that Labour has decided to blow the rest of the year on various meaningless leadership contests, rather than sort out serious council issues like this. 

Hope they rot etc.
