Kay McShane's family want Spike Island tribute removed if access is not improved

There is no wheelchair accessible bus transport from the island’s harbour up to the main fort, which had been due to host an exhibition about the Paralympian and disability rights campaigner

Kay McShane won the London Marathon women's wheelchair race three times in a row between 1984 and 1986 and won bronze and silver medals in the 1984 and 1988 summer Paralympics.

The family of a leading Paralympian is considering asking for a celebration of her life to be removed from the Spike Island website.

They say they will ask the Spike Island Development Company Limited (SIDCL) to take the 1,246-word tribute down if they do not provide visitors to the island with a wheelchair-accessible bus.
