    Kayleigh O’Neill
    Councillor for Forth Ward

    She is a full-time wheelchair user and advocates for better accessibility for disabled people in all realms of life. Within Forth ward Kayleigh believes there should be better access to warm, safe and affordable homes. She supports 20-minute neighbourhoods and wants people to have access to everything they need in walking, cycling and wheeling distance. Through better active travel this can help people and the planet.

    Extremely shocking twitter thread by her yesterday on the topic of accessibility in the City Chambers: https://twitter.com/KayleighFONeill/status/1523671748868452354

    You might expect an old building to be imperfect in this regard but the fire evacuation plan being "shrug, I guess just burn to death?" is particularly awful.

    This is all of course quite surprising as the last cohort seemed to be packed to the gunnels with "disability campaigners". Perhaps relaxing on-peak van loading restrictions on the fourth floor would be an easy fix?
