What's accessibility like for disabled people on the Island?

That's the question currently out for public consultation - with a reminder that there is just days left to submit your views.

The Accessibility Guide offers reviews of over 1,200 venues in the Isle of Man providing information on disabled parking, toilet access, ramp installation and hearing loops.

The current contract for the document is held by DisabledGO however this will shortly go out for expressions of interest.

Anyone interested in submitting their views can do so by Sunday, July 13th.

You can view the two online surveys on the government website.
