To make it compulsory for all bungalows and ground floor flats be adapted for disabled people and to give a home for disabled people.
A permanent outdoor ramp, wide doors for wheelchair users, wet rooms, grabrails etc.

Why is this important?
Did you know there are 1 in 5 people who are living with a disability. Ten million disabled people in Britain and five million are pension age. Most of them struggling to find suitable accommodation.
I became disabled from an industrial accident at work over 25 years ago. I have to rely on benefits.
Majority of Landlords and Estate Agents don't have accommodation for disabled people. You may be lucky if your Landlord allows the Council to adapt their properties.
But the difficulty is that so many people are living in bungalows and ground floor flats who are fortunate enough to be able to walk, and are able to climb stairs in other places.
There are less bungalows being built and is a major struggle to find ground floor flats suitable for disabled people. We need more adaptions and extra room for medical equipment and accessibility is very important.
My friend and I are part-time wheechair users and struggled to find a place to live in that has a wet room and due to severe allergies we struggling to find a place that has not been recently decorated. Landlords use VOC toxic paint, new carpets which has formaldehyde in them, spray glues that are not suitable for asthmatics etc.
Surely making it compulsory to have all bungalows adapted for disabled people and ground floor flats adapted for disabled people, will help millions of disabled people have a better quality of life as it causes us severe stress just trying to find a safe, suitable place to live. We have enough to cope with basic tasks everyone takes for granted.
