Accessible transport on Spike Island 'an immediate priority' if exhibition is to go ahead

The family of a pioneering paralympian has threatened to withdraw support for exhibition in her honour on Spike Island as it won't be accessible to wheelchair users

Kay McShane was a tireless campaigner for disability issues.

Accessible transport from the Spike Island jetty to its visitor centre must be “an immediate priority”, an engineering expert has said.

It is one of several recommendations contained in a report prepared for the family of Paralympian and disability rights campaigner, Kay McShane, who it’s hoped will be honoured with an exhibition this summer on the island where she was raised.
