Disability access rules for new properties.

The government will today move to placate disability campaigners by providing measures to improve disability access and enjoyment of public and commercial buildings. We live in hope!
What officials describe as "tough new rules" from the deputy prime minister will seek to ensure that new buildings, both public and private, have ramps for wheelchairs, automatic doors, clearer signs, and better audio instructions and advice.
Disability groups have been disappointed with the government, despite the Disability Discrimination Act passed in 2000. Hopes that gaps in the act would be filled by legislation to introduce "enforceable civil rights" for the disabled have been thwarted. There will be no early bill.
Ministers are keen that no excessive costs are imposed on local authorities or firms.
But in what wary businesses may regard as another non-tax burden, the latest extension to the 2000 building regulations applies the new rules to existing buildings when they are altered.
