I live on 3rd floor a flat which has hard concrete steps some slightly worn shiny but a handrail 3 landings involved its a struggle and only until i can get ground floor or a lift social housing elsewhere but stuck on a waiting list as only can afford social housing.Any suggestions with allo body osteoarthritis and some plantir fasciliatis living alone with no help.

    Hi @GalaxyA12

    I reckon you need to get some pressure added to your application for more suitable social housing!

    Would your GP write you a letter of support? Also have you let your local council know that condition or your medical needs have changed?

    You could also ask Social services to assess your needs?

    best of luck

    Thankyou Frogmorton re my Staircases post. You may be interested in "The Throckmorton Coat" a story of hope and a cheerfull one. i wrote a Folk song based on this Folk story and performed it locally then found years later someone else had done same semi professionally hah.

    Wow @GalaxyA12 !

    I just read the story of the coat well done to Sir John for winning his wager!

    When googling it I saw the folk song.....ah well🙄It is a great song you have to admit.

    Thank you for sharing.
