Following what I thought was surprising news that the only way to get a wheelchair is via the Red Cross - and most of them don't loan the wheeled devices out anymore - a correspondent writes:

As regards the problems you encountered borrowing a wheelchair, well Cheshire County Council, after consulting no one, has withdrawn their equipment loan scheme which had operated for years, and this and other unwelcome `cutbacks` led to near anarchy at a meeting held last week. We have local poet laureates in Cheshire, the replacement of stiles with kissing gates for the disabled – just how they could reach them is not mentioned, and yet essential `services` are disappearing by stealth- grrh!
