I'd love to see less accessible toilets being used as staff toilets, cleaning cupboards or storage rooms

More benches so on days when I don't need my wheelchair I don't have to sit on the floor to rest

I'd love to be able to use my limited energy however I want to without having to justify how I've used it to other people

Lifts with buttons in a horizontal row rather than a vertical column so I can use them independently from my chair without having to stretch as high as I physically can

Wider doorways as standard! Since being an ambulatory wheelchair user, I’ve found most doorways aren't wide enough. Even if I can squeeze through its difficult & I often crash into the frame it also takes up more cognitive energy navigating tight spaces

Accessibility information being made easy to find either on the website or by phone! This goes for shops, events, restaurants etc. I've lost count of how many hours I've spent searching for the most basic information

Smaller portions of the entire menu in restaurants being available as standard! Gastro issues mean I can't eat a large meal but that doesn't necessarily mean I want to eat from the kids menu all the time!

#AccessibleAdvent Day 9 Normalise rest in public places. The provision of a quiet place to sit or lie would be incredible in helping me manage my energy levels when out and about. Allowing me an opportunity to mitigate collapses or minimize crashes slightly
