Going to the Polling Station in Belper, Derbyshire, England


From Jed in Belper, Derbyshire, England:

Well, TravelScoot got me to the Polling Station today with no trouble. It's a quarter of a mile up, a hill like the side of a house.

I made sure the battery was fully charged but I really didn't think it would make it, but it ground steadily up there.  The Polling Station is up behind the church in the picture.

  1. Dear Jed,
    .
    That certainly is a big hill, what was it like coming down the hill, afterwards?
    Would that have been the World Speed Record for Travelscoot?
    .
    Can you remember, Jed, if there was a Wheelchair User Voting Booth at the Polling Station that you went to?
    There was none at my local polling station, no facilites for wheelchair users at all.
    Just wondering.
    .
    from,
    Daniel.

  2. Sorry. Only just seen this. No there were no particular facilities for disabled people. I think they expect you to contact the organisers of the party you vote for to take you there. (Still living in the last century) I didnt have a problem as I can walk short distances as long as I dont use oxyegen faster than I can absorb it.
