Eleanor Lisney - Inclusive living space.

"You don't have to spend your mobility grant on just transport, you can use it toward creating a more inclusive living space." - Eleanor lives in the heart of Coventry city centre and shares her experience and process of adapting her 1st floor flat/apartment for wheelchair use.
Eleanor frustrated with the traditional Clunky-retro fitted banister or ramp fittings on offer to wheelchair user worked with Gregory Cowan and Architect and a builder to rethink and refit her flat.
Eleanor prefers to be as normal as possible and did not make allowances for the need to adapt.

Many thanks to Eleanor and Gregory.

Well done Eleanor

Thanks Scott - yes, I think it worked out really well and I think the video explains the process well too. Eleanor now has a great inner city apartment with a great balcony for growing and for barbecues, and all of which is very close to train connections to London Paris Strasbourg and beyond.. regards G
