Hi to all Carers
I managed to take my Son for a drive one day a week, for the past 3 weeks to the sea front for a walk. There are many seats along this stretch so if he gets too wobbly, he can sit and rest then move on; it's good for his rehabilitation.
With the weather being nice there were many people on the beach and along the walk way and in the
main most people kept to the social distancing.
However the Council in our area got their priorities right again, NOT!!! The toilets were locked even the disabled one BUT wait for it; the traffic wardens were out in force!!!!!
What traffic wardens were NOT doing, was stopping many adults riding their bikes at speed along the crowded pavement! There were the elderly with frames taking in the air, alongside Mum's with buggies and toddlers walking alongside, people like my Son with walking sticks/disabilities. NOTHING is done to stop this, so with trying to keep distance one was having to keep looking all around in case there was a collision with a bike.
Beside being badly injured, if anyone was hurt, then they would have to burden our already overworked NHS! I cannot understand why this is ignored and is allowed to continue!
I have to agree with all everyone has written here.
I took a urinal in the car with a large bath towel in case my Son needed it, after his stroke these functions are not as controllable. I however had to drive home desperate to spend a penny!
Despite shops opening soon, I'm sure there will be many like myself who won't be able to use them due to the toilets being closed. Also with having to queue this only adds to the problem as shopping take longer doesn't it!
