I have a question that relates to a recent situation.
A local pub has a restaurant situated on the 3rd floor, which is accessed via two flights of stairs.
The pub has wheelchair access at the front of the building and a wheelchair lift that raises and lowers from the entrance level to the lower level where the bar and disabled toilet is, but there is no means available for disabled people to use the restaurant facilities on the 3rd floor.....Is this acceptable?
Also should disabled toilet facilities be made availabe at each floor level?
Any comment would be appreciated.

Lee,
I believe as long as the restaurant could offer meals to people with disabilities on the first floor and that it was the same service as offered to those in the restaurant, thenI would say this should class as a "reasonable adjustment" , given the fact they have provided access and facilities proves their intentions , it depends really on how expensive it would be to make adjustments and if it was feasible for the company financially to do it.

Although there is discrimination, the test for DDA compliance will be whether the discrimination is reasonable in the circumstances. This will require a site-specific assessment by a competent person.
