I have been following the debate on the disabled converted motor home that Chris posted on MHF .....
This morning I went on the hunt for an RCD box.. boy are they big now... but I did a bit of research on line and looked at the various books I have .. screwfix, tool station, B&Q .. local A1 electrical trade shop.
B & Q had no RCD equipment at all. But had flat and easy access
Screwfix has a step that I cannot get up in a wheelchair
A1 Electrical .. closed as bank holiday, but again a step I cannot get up
Tool station flat and easy access
Have had to order it for over night delivery and can return it with 30 days if I do not use it...
But the point of the post was, it is interesting to note that while most shops and premises now comply with the Equality Act a fair few commercial premises do not. Why is it that these types of shops think they do not have to comply with the law? :Sad::Sad:
I had honestly thought having to go in to a restaurant via the kitchens had ended. But it seems not.. a large company like Screwfix one would have thought would have complied with the equality Act..... so my ÂŁ41 went to Tool Station.
