Subject: [ACCESSCODE] Pedestrian
I have been contacted by 'Mrs A' who has right of pedestrian access over a
neighbours property in order to access 2 garden sheds in her rear garden.
The son of 'Mrs A' is an adult wheelchair user and is totally dependent on
his wheelchair for mobility. He has recently returned home to live with his
mother.
The neighbour, who is aware of this right of access as it is in her deeds,
is claiming that the son has no right of access because he is not on foot.
I would consider a wheelchair user to be a pedestrian and 'on foot' but is
there anything written to this effect which could be used as evidence in
legal terms.
