Feb 17th, 2022 | Category: Special Reports | 8:54#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.
