I notice that currently 3 disabled parking spaces at the Beatson are being taken up by builders portacabins and fencing. There is already a problem with trying to get parked at the Beatson, and often there are no spaces (disabled spaces or otherwise) free. I am sure this is a problem for many people. In my case this means that whoever is bringing me to the Beatson usually has to drop me off at the reception, then go and find a parking space. This makes me feel very nervous, as my balance has been affected by my condition, and I don't feel confident to walk through the entrance and along to Outpatients reception on my own. Or alternatively I have to go in the car with the person who is driving me to the Beatson to try and find a parking space, and then walk back to the building with them, which can be tiring.
I would be interested to know why the decision was made to put the builders portacabins over 3 of the disabled parking spaces, rather than elsewhere on the site? For example, there is some waste ground immediately behind these where the portacabins could have been placed instead.
