A national charity with links to Axbridge is urging people tojoin its new campaign.
Leonard Cheshire Disability, which has a centre in the town,wants people to use its new website to test the accessibility ofshops, services and transport in the area.
The website - www.actionforaccess.org - has a map of the UK forpeople to share their opinions on how accessible local services suchas cinemas, banks and shops are.
It also has template letters and guidelines for campaigners tosend to business managers with suggestions on how to improveaccessibility.
Research by Leonard Cheshire Disability found two in five (40 percent) of disabled people have had difficulties accessing goods andservices in the past year.
A quarter of all disabled people (23 per cent) identified theirexperiences as discriminatory.
