Hi @Folkert
                   Welcome to the community, thank you for joining us. Well done for campaigning for better accessible streets, I too use a wheelchair so can appreciate how some streets are not always easy to navigate as a wheelchair user. Please feel free to have a look around the forum and join in with conversations. Also, please feel free to ask questions or for help and support, there are many lovely people on the community and there will be someone who will be able to help. I look forward to seeing you around the community. Thank you.
