Decision:

To note the consultation responses, adopt the policy with amendments effective from 2 September 2020.

 

Reason for decision:

Failure to implement the list means that the Authority does not have any power to act against proprietors who fail to carry wheelchair users. This risks reputational damage to the Council and offers no level of recourse for disabled customers.

 

Executive Leader and Deputy Executive Leader consultation response

None.

 

The Chief Executive’s response to member representations

None.

 

Decision taken by the Chief Executive pursuant to the delegation contained at Appendix 2 Responsibility for Functions, Part C paragraph 1.3, urgent and emergency situations.
