WeX Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Something like these would have been more appropriate. Our range of domestic wheelchair lifts have been designed to help people live independently in their own homes. Our domestic wheelchairs lifts come with the latest safety features as standard and our product range includes external step lifts for easy access in and out of the home, through floor lifts to enable travel between floors and wheelchair stairlifts. Or this. The cost of an outdoor stair lift is around £2,500 for a basic model, and such a lift is ideal for negotiating difficult flights of steps or for accessing the garden when there are various obstacles in the way. In most cases, installation will take less than a day, and there will be a full warranty provided. Outdoor stair lifts can be slightly more expensive than indoor stair lifts, because of their extra strength and weatherproofing. Like indoor stair lifts, they come in straight and curved models; they also feature padlocks to keep them secure. The only one I can see that would have worked would have been this one: http://www.terrylifts.co.uk/products/domestic-lifts/s7-artira-wheelchair-stairlift/ as its up three sets of stairs. Do you know how much that would have cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivanava Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 In the story I quoted the bin lorries were given names, presumably after the kids who entered the competition http://www.rotherham.gov.uk/news/article/449/new_names_for_bin_wagons I stand corrected.

Boothybabe Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Surely it would have been cheaper to find them a more suitable house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know how much that would have cost? Less than £40K and significantly more practical. It would have been cheaper to buy them an All Terrain electric Wheelchair, which would have easily negotiated the garden. ---------- Post added 13-02-2014 at 20:53 ---------- Surely it would have been cheaper to find them a more suitable house. They could have built them one for £40K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister M Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I stand corrected. Not a problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
