QUESTION NO. 21

QUESTION: Councillor Alan Edge

Can the Chief Executive report on the number of social houses in the County which are wheelchair accessible? 

REPLY:

Part M of the Building Regulations 1997 (as amended) require all new housing stock to be constructed to ensure adequate accessibility for disabled persons- all homes delivered by the Council since the introduction of the regulations are compliant with the regulations.

In addition, 235 homes within the Council's housing stock have been specially adapted to meet the specific needs of disabled persons.
