The researchers are interested in the views of all disabled people and want to know what it is like locally in the Coleraine borough.

The work is being carried out by Adapt NI and they are keen to gather the views of people with sight, hearing or mobility impairments, learning disability, mental health support needs, hidden impairments such as epilepsy, autism, diabetes, arthritis, or long term illnesses or conditions like cancer, HIV or chronic heart disease.

Using a ‘shopping basket’ of twenty public services, the research asks how easy or difficult they are to use. Services include clothes shops, pubs, supermarkets, amusements, hotels, dentists, hairdressers, post offices and more.

You can add your views and share experiences of using services in town by completing the survey. It is online here
