BBC radio news has been carrying a story all day regarding the Disability Rights Commission’s report on the lack of decent facilities for those with disabilities in London’s key Oxford Street shopping area. Rather neatly for the Metroblogging network, they compare this shortfall with the rather better provision made for the disabled in our sister city, San Francisco. What is noticable is that, as is often the way with such coverage, both reports seem to equate disability with being wheelchair bound though, to be fair, some mention is made of issues affecting the sight impaired.
