Broken Hoist, Broken Access | Leicester News

With no replacement parts available and months-long repair delays, she’s desperate, highlighting how inaccessible public facilities are becoming for those with complex disabilities. While the council admits the issue and says they’re waiting on discontinued parts, they’ve offered no real solution for a family whose son’s health and joy depend on this one piece of equipment.
