One of my customers was remarking this morning about how the traffic management system had meant that she was no longer able to bring her disabled mother into Dumbarton to shop. ‘By the time my mum is up, about and mobile it is simply not possible for her to shop in the town’ said Margaret McVey who lives in Garshake. ‘We now go to Helensburgh’ she added. Margaret pointed out that she had witnessed individuals being driven by taxi (to the door) to pick up a methodone prescription, then they would come out and be driven (again to the door) to pick up a carry out.
Margaret asks why her disabled mother cannot shop in the town in the afternoon but individuals like the one highlighted above can.
I have tactfully changed some of the words used by Margaret but I think she makes a very good point.
