BEFORE the General Election, we at the Leonard Cheshire Disability set up our “My vote, my say”
website to provide information and advice for disabled people about voting.
We also supported many disabled people to contact their local candidates to ask them what they would do to make sure that, if elected, they would be an “accessible MP” for all their constituents.
Now that the election is over, we want to find out just how accessible MPs are. Will their constituency surgeries be in accessible venues?
Will they make sure their disabled constituents can get in touch with them? And how will they respond to disabled people’s key priorities?
You can tell us your views, find out more information on disability policy, discover how to become a campaigner and how to lobby your MP by visiting our website at lcdisability.org/myvotemysay.
