The Council is developing a policy on its services for people with disabilities.

A series of questions will be circulated to groups, people with disabilities, and to people who care for or work with people with disabilities, asking them how easy it is to access Christchurch City Council services.

Margaret Macadam, who is co-ordinating the policy, says discussion documents will be available as brochures, on the website and as audio cassettes to help people make their views known.

"We really want to work with relevant groups and as many people with disabilities as possible to tell us how we can better provide services, and how we can ensure that the wider disability community has input into the Council's decision-making process."

Views are sought this month (July) and next.
