Disabled adults in Leeds have nowhere to go and it is 'absolutely ridiculous' says young cerebral palsy sufferer

A campaigner has said the lack of indoor recreational spaces for disabled adults is "absolutely ridiculous" and is asking the council to take action.

Jordan South, 23, suffers from Cerebral Palsy and Scoliosis as well as learning difficulties, and says there is a lack of indoor recreational spaces for disabled adults in Leeds. This has left him feeling "incredibly isolated" and has a serious impact on his mental health, as well as the mental health of other disabled adults in the city.

He is now calling on Leeds City Council to take action to set up more spaces in the city and has launched a petition to gather support.
