THE latest clanger by this silly council after the Asda/Westbrook traffic lights fiasco is that it has now installed a new gate at the entrance to Brownlees Ponds, Shackleton Close, Old Hall, making it impossible for the disabled to gain access for leisure activities.

This discrimination comes at the same time as Disability Awareness Day. It is a joke, there is absolutely no forethought.
