New web page launched to support residents with disabilities

The Council has launched a new web page designed to provide residents with easy access to support and services for people with disabilities or impairments across the county.

The new resource brings together a wide range of information in one place, making it easier for residents to find and navigate the support available to them.

Councillor Julie Matthews, Lead Member for Corporate Strategy, Policy, Equalities and Strategic Assets, said: “We’re really pleased to launch this dedicated web page, which brings together valuable information in one accessible place.

“It’s important that residents with disabilities or impairments are aware of the services and support available in the county. Access to the right information can make a significant difference in helping people live independently. We hope these pages will provide that support, and we encourage anyone who feels additional information is needed to contact the Council.”

The web page includes links to a variety of services, such as support with Blue Badge applications, information about beach wheelchairs, assisted bin collections, and council tax discounts and exemptions and much, much more.

You can view the information on the following link - Support and services for people with disabilities and impairments

Residents can also access information through the Council’s One Stop Shops and libraries or by calling our contact centre.
