On Disabled Access Day, 16 March, the Centre for Inclusive Living Perth and Kinross (CILPK) conducted a street audit focused on scaffolding. Cindy and Richard Godfrey McKay joined me, along with our Outreach Worker, Rowan, Megan Campbell, PKC Equalities Officer, and Councillor Peter Barrett. We reviewed scaffolding at the Scott Street/South Street junction and later at the Kinnoull Street/High Street junction in Perth.
Both locations highlighted the concerns outlined in my original post. CILPK will continue to raise awareness of the challenges faced by people with low vision and other disabilities, and we look forward to working collaboratively with scaffolding companies in the near future.

Latest: We made the cover of the Perthshire Advertiser dated March 27th 2026 – thank you so much to Cindy and Richard for highlighting the issue for safe and standardised scaffolding best practice.
