Disabled Motoring UK (DMUK) has just completed their 2020 in a different way because of impact of the COVID pandemic and SCAN wants to run similar surveys locally.

We are asking shoppers to think back over the last 12 months to consider their general parking experience and ask them to answer some questions about this experience at supermarkets and on their everyday journeys.

Please contact us if you would be able to help with this survey and leave your name and contact details, the area where you live and the location of the Blue Bays where the abuse occurred
Email info@spelthorneaccess.org.uk or text 07853 038933.
