Council's Approach to Disabled Access...

It wasn't 40k, they had a chap talking on the radio about it today. Was more like 20k evidently. As for the design that was the only way due to building regs regarding disabled access.

I'm by no means defending this. As someone pointed out they would of been better moving the family to a appropriate single story house.
 
Clipboard man, says it needs Building Regulation approval maximum gradients etc and gives the go ahead. Budget, what budget? Crazy but we've seen it all before when local authorities are involved. :headbang:
 
What do you expect when you let the local authority loose on a project like that, they'll just hire in a firm who'll charge as much as possible for the job and the local authority will sign it off so they don't have to deal with it anymore.

Looks like a good system but slightly over engineered for the requirement.

Oh and I am a "elf and safety clip board man" :rofl:
 
I can understand the need for acceptable gradients, but another case of regs beating the need for common sense based decision making! More than 20k to re home in more suitable property? Really? Who approved that action? I like paying taxes to help others, but not for decisions like that...
