'Everyone deserves a night out'

February 14, 2006 12:01 PM

Welsh Liberal Democrat AM for Brecon and Radnorshire, Kirsty Williams, has drawn attention to the problem many disabled people face accessing pubs and clubs in the constituency.

Following a meeting with the Brecknock Access Group last month, Ms Williams raised the issue with the Social Justice Minister at the Assembly.

Ms Williams said: "Being able to participate in social activities is an important way of preventing social exclusion. Disabled people enjoy a night out as much as anyone else, but the group I spoke to were concerned that Powys County Council are not using the new licensing laws to help improve access to pubs and clubs in the area. I asked the Minister to look at the problem, to see what can be done to ensure all those who want a night out can enjoy one."
