London may still have it’s faults; it may still have a tonne of work to do when it comes to accessibility in its infrastructure and public transport system. Yet it must be said that my adventures in Cyprus went some way to putting what I enjoy here into perspective. Almost as soon as we landed, John started to struggle pushing my wheelchair. Whereas here at home I tend to take things like drop kerbs and ramps for granted, I was astonished to see how lacking they were in cities like Nicosia and Paphos. Even walking along ordinarily streets proved to be a struggle; and as I touched upon here a few days ago, whatever ramps we did find in to shops etc struck me as a bit of an afterthought or box ticking exercise. To be honest I was rather surprised, given that Cyprus is a member of the EU. It taught me not to take the level of accessibility I have in London for granted, as well as demonstrating here much work there is still to do to reach true equality.
