A lot of people think access means the ability to get into a building, no matter where or how you can get into it, whether you get into it through a back alley, or through a lift that usually carries garbage or food. They choose where they spend their money. Word soon spreads that a store, etc is positive about disability. The extension of PART M of the Buildings Regulations covering private new dwellings came into force on 25th October 1999. By 2004 all physical barriers will have to be reasonably removed.
Some laws are already in effect.
