Accessible housing: ‘I lived in a hotel for 17 months’


Listen Later

We hear from activists from the 29 disability and inclusion groups who have written to the new Labour government to demand that all new housing be made accessible.

The letter to 10 Downing Street was followed by a day of action. Adam Gabsi from Inclusion London, and wheelchair-user, Sam Cornelius-Light, tell presenter Paul Carter why they feel the issue needs ministers’ urgent attention.

Plus, with less than a month to go until the Paralympics, we hear from two British competitors who will be heading to Paris – taekwondo’s Beth Munro and high jumper Jonathan Broom-Edwards.

Presented by Paul Carter

Production by Daniel Gordon and Alex Collins
Recorded by Jonny Hall
Mixed by Ben Mundy
