A dad from Edinburgh says feels like a prisoner in his own home after claiming the council has refused to build a ramp from his tenement stair door to the pavement.
Alexander French, 54, started using an electric wheelchair after being diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and losing the ability to walk - but because of the steep step to his tenement flat door, he is unable to leave his home independently.
The dad doesn’t like relying on his family to get in and out of the house and as a result, is stuck inside through the week unable to socialise which has taken its toll on his mental health.
