Road closures for SD

it is lovely to have these road closures for people to SD. πππππ
last week I went to town for the first time since March and I found it quite annoying that I still have to use the pavements and crossings because of my powered wheelchair, I actually emailed the town council and just waiting for a reply back.
who else has found this ? Β Β I would like to knowΒ

I've moved your post over to the coffee lounge as more people might spot it thereΒ
You highlight a really important issue about how social distancing has impacted wheelchair users.Β It would be good to know if other people on the community have experience similar. Β
I found this article on the Disability News Service website that talks about itΒ https://www.disabilitynewsservice.com/coronavirus-disabled-people-face-discrimination-from-covid-traffic-schemes/ so you definitely aren't aloneΒ

Im just enjoying going out to be honest
I havenβt noticed any closed roads for this reason either to be honest. I have seen some lanes being closed in larger towns and turned into cycle lanes.
