The mother of a disabled girl has attacked a local council after it responded to her two-year campaign for improved wheelchair access to her house by building a 10-level winding wheelchair ramp covering most of her garden.
Clare Lally, 33, spent two years campaigning for improved access for her wheelchair-bound Katie, seven, after the council gave them a home at the top of three flights of stairs.
But she was shocked at the solution, a £40,000 60-metre steel ramp which winds from the front door to the pavement.
Lally said that it was easier to transport her daughter but the scale of the construction was an eyesore. "There must have been a better solution. The council could have gone about the whole project in a more sensible way," she said.
"The council said this was the only option to fit something into the garden because of building regulations. It is a lot easier but I don't believe that the council weren't able to do something else. We weren't fighting for a massive steel ramp - we just wanted to improve Katie's quality of life."

An ink-addicted woman has spent 416 hours covering her entire body in tattoos, despite the fact she will never see them because she is blind.
Fran Atkinson has spent the last three years having a colourful ‘body suit’ inked on to her with no idea what it looks like.
But the mother-of-one, from Rhyl, says her husband, Ron, and tattoo artist Grez Bowman have acted as her eyes, describing details of the intricate artwork from her neck down to her ankles.

I have a bottle of Heinz Tomato Ketchup and it's 1.07kg in weight. I wonder why it is 1.07kg. There must be a reason.

the Hike Up Zone sounds like a cunning plan.

Japan's Education Ministry says it is revising teaching manuals for schools to set out its ownership of disputed islands.
Minister Hakubun Shimomura said Japan wanted to teach its children "about integral parts of its territory".
The disputed territory includes islands in the East China Sea controlled by Japan but also claimed by China, and islands controlled by South Korea.
The disputes have caused tension between Japan and the two countries.
'Natural to teach'
The revision approved by the Education Ministry will affect history and geography classes in junior and senior high schools.
It will say that islands in the East China Sea, known as Senkaku in Japan and Diaoyu in China, and the South Korea-controlled Dokdo islands, known as Takeshima in Japan, are "integral parts of Japanese territory".
"From the educational point of view, it is natural for a state to teach its children about integral parts of its own territory," Mr Shimomura said.
He added that "with the co-operation of our Foreign Ministry, we will explain the country's position to our neighbours".
South Korea has protested the move, with officials calling the meaning of the revision a "very serious" matter, says Yonhap news agency.
Seoul also planned to summon the Japanese ambassador to South Korea to lodge a complaint, Yonhap added.

Well, all I can say is if I find the idea pretty horrible then perhaps I'm "not comfortable with my sexuality".
Even though I am.
