一个残疾人权益团体与新西兰瓦卡塔内地方议会达成了一项新协议,旨在使该地区更安全,更便于残疾人进出。华卡塔尼无障碍和包容性信托基金(WAI)上周与瓦卡塔内区议会签署了一份谅解备忘录。

WAI此前曾与该委员会合作,改善城镇周围关键区域的人行道、路缘和十字路口。该组织还计划解决该镇的红色礼节过境点,他们认为这些过境点对残疾人来说是不安全的。

作为协议的一部分,该委员会将制定多元化和包容性政策,该政策将在即将举行的会议上进行讨论。该委员会首席执行官斯蒂芬·奥沙利文和WAI成员格兰特·蔡斯签署了该协议。

谅解备忘录将为理事会工作人员和信托成员的合作提供指导方针。WAI 之所以独一无二,是因为其成员大多是有个人残疾生活经历的人。这使理事会能够获得专业建议。

该委员会的高级社区发展顾问凯伦·萨默海斯表示,很高兴与WAI成员合作。她赞扬了他们的坚持和耐心,并感谢他们的宝贵指导。

WAI已经与该委员会合作了几年,他们的一些想法已经付诸实施。2018年,他们向理事会提交了一份文件,倡导更安全的路缘和过境点,并为乘坐机动踏板车和轮椅的人提供更好的出入便利。这些建议已于今年付诸行动。

该组织目前还在支持应急规划工作,以确保在海啸疏散期间考虑到残疾人。他们计划向2024-34年长期计划提交一份报告,说明他们对红色礼节过境点的担忧,他们认为红色礼节过境点不符合新西兰交通管理局Waka Kotahi的指导方针。
