The other day I repeated the treacherous journey that I made a week ago, which are discussed in in several tiktoks and on the earlier posts in this blog. I was fine thankfully. But I did run into a repeat problem, something that was there last week and was still in my way yesterday morning.

I ran into this van.

The same van that had meant that I had to go into the middle of the road on a corner in the dark last week.

After posting this again to my Facebook group it was suggested that I contact the email address on the van and explain my access problems because of this van.

I did this and received a reply shortly after. To my surprise on the return home this van was no longer there and therefore I was able to take this corner on the pavement. Which is a much safer option I think you will agree.

I did not expect such a response or action when I raised concerns of this with with the Facebook group and then the company. I was very pleasantly surprised.

It felt nice to know that I was actually able to make a difference to my own accessibility and no doubt the accessibility of others.

Perhaps this blog, and my social media posts will become more then just raising awareness and a tool for catharsis. Maybe they, or I, can actually lead to some real change in the world.

Somewhere it seems some are listening to me, and you know what that makes it worth the hate.
