    Hi Azzy, Thanks for your reply. I will try my luck with appealing if that doesn’t work. I will see if I could take it further with tribunal.

    Part 3 of the Equality Act 2010 gives disabled people a right of access to goods, facilities, services and premises and makes it unlawful for service providers to treat disabled people less favourably than non-disabled people for a reason related to their disability.

    The council have an obligation in law to make reasonable adjustments for disabled people and cannot use a local bye law to over ride that statutory obligation. I see this as a way for council to make easy money.

    If anyone has any idea how to appeal it would be greatly appreciated.
