I was once asked to lead a workshop at a Conference in Sheffield organised by the Law Centres Federation, I could not get into the workshop due to its poor access.
I think that we should note that the leader of Sheffield Council for many years was one David Blunket (now our racist Home Sec.) he of course did nothing (while in office) to improve access for disabled people there.
