A local charity is welcoming efforts to bring the Disability Discrimination Act closer to implementation.

Now off-Island consultants are looking into the likely cost and timescale of bringing it in.
Wheelchair user and foundation board member Kathryn Williams says it is a welcome move forward, but there's still a long way to go:
