Currently there is still a large dependence by the council on B&B type accommodation provided by both B&B’s and hotels.
In response to the request the executive confirmed that in line with the new Local disability Strategy properties, such as B&Bs, will be legally obliged to comply with requirements for people in wheelchairs.
