Iris worries she will be trapped indoors
A 92-year-old woman from Rutherglen who has waited years to have a wheelchair ramp installed says she has been left imprisoned in her home.
“We’ve had social workers, the psychiatric nurse, and councillors on to them,” said Norreen. “They came out and assessed it, measured it and priced it. “There are only two steps at the front door and I went out and bought a short ramp to get her down and save bothering the council.“I was fit enough at the time but it would be dangerous now as I can’t get her back in.Noreen is battling health issues of her own including tremors due to a neurological condition and now walks with a stick.
She said:“They said they would need to take the ramp from the end of the building, it’s only about four metres. I can’t get my mum to the hearing clinic or the opticians. I can’t take her anywhere as I can’t get her out the door.
