A ‘Disabled People’s Question Time’ will take place this Friday on Holyrood Road.
A Scottish Parliamentary Election event, it is being jointly presented by Inclusion Scotland and Disability History Scotland.
The first part will inform attendees about Access to Politics advice and support for disabled people, including the Democratic Participation Fund for would-be councillors in 2017.
The second part will be a kind of hustings, hosted by Disability History Scotland, with both audience and panel able to ask questions. Representatives of the five parties represented in the Scottish Parliament’s last session.
Organisers describe it as being ‘more about the audience than the politicians, as well as about the attitudes of the parties not the sound-bite policy answers’.
The event takes place on Friday 29 April from 12pm–4pm at the Macdonald Holyrood Hotel, 81 Holyrood Road.
Reasonable travel expenses will be paid. On-premises parking is available by prior arrangement, and there’s nearby street parking with Blue Badge.
