Hackney Council: "Flawed" disabled parking system scrapped
Hackney Council has scrapped a "flawed" scoring system it used for disabled parking assessments which denied hundreds of residents of blue additional guidelines in this system were found to have caused "injustice".Councillor Christopher Kennedy, the borough's health and social care chief, confirmed the council would write to all 149 individuals refused a permit since January verdict came after resident Mrs D appealed to the regulator after the council refused to renew her blue badge, according to the Local Democracy Reporting Service. 'Partially accepted' In April, the Local Government and Social Care Ombudsman, Amerdeep Comal, decided that Hackney's "flawed policy" went against government added that it had made it "very difficult for people with disabilities to qualify for a permit" and that it was "likely more people were also denied a permit when they would have qualified, had Hackney's guidance followed that of the government". During a cabinet meeting at the Town Hall, Mr Kennedy said Hackney Council honoured the regulator's ruling by apologising to Mrs D, paying her £500 and offering her another in-person added that the watchdog "did not tell us that Mrs D should be given a blue badge", but rather that she was entitled to another assessment without the flawed scoring Greens' co-leader, Zoë Garbett, asked the health and social care chief if the local authority had identified any lessons it had learned from the process to avoid a repeat of the Mr Kennedy said this was "very difficult" because of the circumstances under which she was given a blue badge in the first places."Mrs D was offered a permit without a physical in-person assessment during the pandemic," he said."Her subsequent desire to really investigate how we did our assessments was driven by the fact that the subsequent decisions from an in-person assessment did not match with what happened when there were no in-person assessments."However, he acknowledged the council had not "handled it very well as an organisation" and had communicated poorly with the resident, including getting her date of birth April, the watchdog said the council had only "partially" accepted its findings, and disputed the conclusion that it had caused injustice.A Town Hall spokesperson subsequently told the Local Democracy Reporting Service (LDRS) it accepted the findings but was "confident" the majority of blue badge applications were assessed correctly and would undertake a review to ensure processes were "fair and robust".

Newly improved section of Flint Hills Trail to open in May
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks (KDWP) announced Friday the completion and opening of a newly improved section of the Flint Hills Trail State Park in Franklin County. The 2.3-mile segment, located west of Ottawa between Louisiana Terrace and Iowa Road, will officially open to the public on Saturday, May 17. Construction set to begin on first Buc-ee's store in Kansas Once it opens, visitors can take advantage of 93 miles of continuous trail from Osawatomie to Council Grove. Construction included a 10-foot-wide multi-use trail surface, a pedestrian bridge over the BNSF Railway and improvements to three existing bridges. Thanks to these enhancements, visitors no longer have to take a 3.4-mile detour on county roads to cross the railroad tracks safely. 'With every completed section, we're not just building trail—we're connecting communities, expanding recreation access, and helping more Kansans experience the natural beauty of our state,' KDWP Secretary Christopher Kennedy said. The department said the project was made possible through a Transportation Alternatives Program grant from the Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT). A ribbon-cutting celebration for the improved section will be planned at a later date, the KDWP said.
