Dear Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council,

Following numerous emails to Causeway Coast & Glens Council I have not received an accurate response hence now wanting to get an accurate response via a public platform.

Under the Northern Ireland disability act, what is the minimum width required for a wheelchair and its carer on a public footpath?

Yours faithfully,

Terence O'Neill
