The cut between Fellside and Western Way is a no go area for my daughter who uses a wheelchair full time. The manhole covers are raised to such an extent that my daughter could not go over them, she has fallen out of her wheelchair once before and now I can’t get her to come out with me to take the dogs for a walk. I know I am pushing my luck here but the paths in Darras Hall are totally not fit for purpose.
