A disabled dad has hit out at college bosses for refusing him access to a toilet after dropping off his student daughter for her lessons. Philip Davies, 63, has a spinal injury and was suffering from a painful kidney stone on December 15 when he arrived at Trafford College's Manchester Road, Altrincham campus.
After arriving with his 17-year-old daughter, he parked outside the building. Speaking to the Local Democracy Reporting Service, he said: "Because of my kidney stone, I need to go to the toilet very frequently. On this day, I felt the need to go, so after my daughter went on her way to her classes, I asked the receptionist if I could use the toilet which I could see behind the barrier, just a few yards away from where she was sitting.
"I had anticipated there may be an issue with this, so after she said she would ask the security staff, I warned her that I was recording the conversation."
