In the run-up to London’s 2012 Olympic and Paralympic games, the on-going preparations for the events have enjoyed frequent national news coverage. But disappointingly for games that set out to be the most inclusive yet, there seems to have been too little consideration of how disabled spectators will travel to the venues.
Just recently, an NHS hospital has made headline news that disabled visitors would from now on have to be charged for parking the same as everyone else to back up the running of the hospital. It was reported that this could soon become a nationwide trend, where the previously free of charge parking spaces may all have to be paid for.
