Access to Newquay Airport |
|
Members of Disability Cornwall visited Newquay Airport last Summer and their positive experience formed the lead article in our most recent Discover magazine. We are disappointed to hear that any disabled person has had a negative experience and were certainly concerned by some of the recent coverage on Radio Cornwall.
We would like to point out how certain Airport staff are notified every day of any disabled traveller using the airport and depending on what assistance has been requested, that traveller will receive a responsive service ranging from guidance through the terminal to full assistance onto the aircraft. Its important to note, this assistance can include support from and to your car or taxi however, any assistance which may be required must be stated and booked ahead of the day of travel.
You can do this by one of two ways: either requested it when booking your flight and both the airlines which use Newquay Airport (Flybe and Isles of Scilly Travel or Skybus) offer this facility. Or a traveller can contact the airport direct to request assistance:

Are you going to be affected by the proposed welfare reforms & housing benefit changes? |
|
Disability Cornwall is here to represent disabled people in Cornwall and to challenge appropriately when we feel you are being unfairly disadvantaged. We have now heard from three of our members about how they will struggle to meet Cornwall Council’s proposal that people receiving housing benefit will have to pay 30% of the charge, especially when you take into account all the other proposed welfare reforms.
The ‘cumulative effect of all the planned cuts are likely to have a significant negative impact on disabled people and we need to ensure the right people proposing these cuts fully comprehend how badly affected others may be. Are you one of them? If so, let us know as the more examples we have, the stronger our representation will be. How are you affected, in what way and how will it impact on your life?
Please contact our DIAL team and be aware that any information you provide will be treated in the strictest confidence and can be kept anonymous if you wish.
