Social service centre Wels - barrier-free is different

During an on-site inspection on the occasion of a consultation day in Wels, Ombudswoman Gaby Schwarz was able to see for herself that the social services centre of the city of Wels is still not barrier-free.

This is surprising not only because the ORF programme "Bürgeranwalt" (Citizens' Advocate) highlighted this shortcoming and suggested solutions, but also because it would be a good idea for a place like this to be accessible without any obstacles. This is not possible with pushchairs, walking aids or wheelchairs.
