The Accessible Property Register website (APR) was first launched in 2003. My partner Dr Christine Barton MBE, who sadly died in 2013, had been diagnosed with primary progressive multiple sclerosis back in the 1980s and had become a wheelchair user around 1992. This is the point where you learn just how inaccessible the world can be and about the numerous environmental barriers with which people with physical impairments, and particularly wheelchair users, are faced!
