Way to manoeuvre wheelchair in tight space

Which only reinforces my impression that what you need is a platform the chair can drive onto that has fully castoring wheels. Perhaps, due to the space limitations, those might need to be inboard of the chair wheels, rather than outboard, as they usually are on a car creeping trolley.

If the Sliderzdon't work, I think I'll try that next!

It can pivot in its own length. This is just a very very tight corner.

Well, we'll know in two weeks' time (from today) as that is when they are next visting and I should have the Sliderz this week.

In that case the best solution is to remove the corner. There are probably grants available for the adaptation.

Grants for adaptations for a person who is not resident in the house but only occasionally visiting in a personal capacity? I'd like to know from where and under what heading. I start off very doubtful that even Scotland's block grant can afford such things.

Don't be - the RR Sport has hands free parking so it does it for you - or so I'm told by one owner of such.

Or if they don't, they have cameras so you can see all round.

Not when she is just an occasional vistor to our house...
