Closed Ensure Disabled Residents Can Access Their Own Homes

Closed on

We urge HM Government to enforce s.36 and Schedule 4 of the Equality Act 2010. Some landlords are not currently making reasonable adjustments to communal areas when critically needed, leaving disabled residents vulnerable and at risk of injuries.

Bringing these provisions into force would require landlords to make reasonable adjustments when needed, ensuring safety and independence for disabled UK residents. We believe that as the population ages, accessibility issues will grow, straining NHS resources and putting lives at risk.

    Westminster Hall debates give MPs an opportunity to debate a topic of their choice, and receive a response from the Government.

    They are a way to:

    • raise awareness of an issue
    • seek to influence government policy
    • put the views of backbench MPs, political parties, and the Government on record.

    They do not involve a vote on a particular action or decision.
