I went to the new tourist information service attached to the Pavilion shop, to ask for a list of wheelchair-accessible restaurants and pubs.

It took one member of staff, one trainee and two students ten minutes of looking very perplexed and lost to come up with three - one of which was the café in BHS and another the café in Woolworth's, which has been closed for some time now.

This used to be a shop with a great variety of items that were unique and interesting, but our city council, in its wisdom, decided to close it. This is yet another example of their short-sightedness and thoughtlessness and it does not show any forethought or inclusiveness for disabled visitors.

Yet another loss to our wonderful city.
