#JamaicaGleaner FEBRUARY 17, 2022: With ways to go in making public spaces and buildings more disabled-friendly, chairman of the Combined Disabilities Association, the Reverend Arthur Taylor, is hailing Monday�s long-awaited effecting of the Disabilities Act as a �bittersweet moment�. Speaking with The Gleaner on Tuesday, Taylor pointed out that Portmore � the city in which he lives and which is being pushed to become the island�s 15th parish � lacks the infrastructure to allow the disabled to fully benefit from provisions under the new act.
