In my view they didn't, but I know some think they did?

So is asking for the compulsory 'Turning Circle' to be removed, being anti DDA.

Or are they saying that there should be far more choice in the Cities?

Try changing things yourself, using your own arguments, instead of waiting for someone to come along and do it for you.

My point is that some on TDO, and some unions/associations elsewhere, have implied that the OFT report is anti DDA.

If that were the case there would be more messages within this thread.

The DDA outlaws any act by a service provider which does not allow access to their premises or service to people with a disability.

As the majority of disbled people are not confined to a wheelchair to have a full fleet of WAV's (in their current form) could be constrewed to be discriminatory.

I do doubt however the validity of your statement that they have been deemed "unfit" and would appriciate information as to who made that statement and where I can find it published.

To a degree, I agree.

But the one thing I can't work out, is how the disabled customers that can't manage WAVs, get around in the big cities.

by using private hire? slow tonight arnet we sussex.

So when they get of a coach, a plane, a train, there is a PH waiting for them?

were gonna disagree here bud!

the OFT implied that the high initial purchase price of a WAV hindered entry into the HC trade, although I havent got the report in front of me, I understood that it recommended no barriers for entry, such as the price.

Now putting two and two together, I figure that this means they want PH to exchange their plates for HC plates, this will in effect stop investment in WAV's.
