Comment: It's interesting that I should read about this issue not soon after making a business trip to St. Kitts, and exploring some of recently established businesses within the Basseterre region. The issue of the wheelchair/handicap access is indeed a sensitive issue for me, as I have a sister who requires assistance when climbing stairs and the like. I can refer specifically to the recently erected Sands Complex building,which houses several prominent entities (in my estimation that is), and which, to my surprise is constructed most awkwardly and with no conceivable consideration for wheelchair or any sort of handicap access to the second floor. It's bad enough that the building is extremely hard to navigate, with it's clumsily positioned staircases and separating walls. I don't mean to make an attack on this one entity, but only to comment on the urgency of this matter. |
