It seems that our firms that convert vehicles for wheelchair use could soon be put out of business by new EU rules.

Another blunder in the making.

A curious reversal of the position regarding buildings, which by law now have to be built with full accessiblity for wheelchair users, even if none are employed there..

A pal of mine, who has run one of this businesses for many years, sold it to a competitor about 12 months ago.

Perhaps he knew something we didn't...:-)

Somehow I doubt if this will be the case. Rules is rules, and civil servants will ensure these rules are strictly enforced (unlike all other EU states).

Mum's selling Dad's converted Pug 806. I'll tell her to ask for a premium now!
