Lone brothers wheelchair access

The Lone family have two children that suffer with cerebral palsy and scoliosis. They both attend different special need schools and are picked up each morning by a school bus. Both children are wheelchair bound and need to be loaded onto the bus each day. Despite having one disabled space, cars were parked tightly to each side of the spot and the bus could not get access or turn around down the road, and the curb was extremely high where their allocated spot was. A drop curb was needed and the local highway agency quoted the price at £1,800, but the council awarded a 50% discount, as both children are wheelchair users. This left a balance of £900 to be raised, and we were pleased to be able to provide the funds.
