City Council has the Key

Did you know you can buy a RADAR key over the counter at the Guildhall Reception?

They cost just £1.50

No need to get caught out without one!

And it's not just toilets that you can easily use with one of these, but some shops and swimming pool changing rooms have introduced them for disabled customers.

From the Lakes to the Fens

Does anyone else remember a place called Lakeland Plastics, a small warehouse near Windermere station where you could buy freezer bags and all sort of plastic goods?
Well, the small Cumbrian firm has transformed itself, and has a branch in Cambridge which has been nominated by a partially-sighted customer.

Mark went to check it out, and as you can see from the photo (left) he is showing an unhealthy interest in the Hallowe'en catering range for gruesome snacks .

His visit showed good basic facilities for wheelchair users such as level access, automatic door opening, generous circulation space and low checkout counters.

What we could not know until our The Way To Be nomination came in was the helpful and discreet assistance offered to customers who need a bit of help to find and examine the goods.

Thought for the Day: Just as the Lakeland poet Wordsworth spoke of the inner eye that can recapture beautiful sights such as wild daffodils, we know how much it means to disabled customers to remember the kind words, actions and thoughtfulness celebrated in some of our many really great nominations.
