A hyperlocal accessibility petition

Petition link: Machynlleth Co-op, please reopen your front door!

This Co-op supermarket in Powys (Mid-Wales, UK) originally closed the front door in favour of using only the back door (by the car park) at the start of the pandemic, so that they could control the number of people coming into the store more easily and prevent overcrowding, which does make sense.

I have recently learned that they have decided to keep the front door closed permanently. The reason the staff gave me is that it helps to... prevent shoplifting??? (I'm not sure that this is a good solution to the problem.)

Here's the Co-op layout:

Before they closed the front door, going to the shops was easy peasy as a pedestrian, it was like this:

But now the front door and the front till are permanently (but not irreversibly) closed, like so:

Which means you have to walk/roll all the way around the outside of the supermarket TWICE:

As a part-time wheelchair user with mobility issues and no car, this SUUUUUCCCCCKKKKKS. I can imagine that elderly people and parents pushing prams are also having a worse time. I am so upset that they are prioritising drivers over disabled people and parents.

Additionally, and if you're a wheelchair user you know how alarming this is, the corner at the front of the Co-op has a pavement that slopes alarmingly in two directions, including towards the road where cars are turning to get into the car park, and there is no pavement. (There are lanes for pedestrians but, again, there is no pavement.) That corner is also scattered with BOLLARDS, which are horrible to navigate on a weirdly sloped pavement next to a road:

It's a little bit dangerous as a wheelchair user, and it's tricky for people on mobility scooters, which are a bit less manoeuverable.

As you can see, they've even put planters in front of the doors to show how closed those front doors are. 😭/😡

Please consider signing this petition: Machynlleth Co-op, please reopen your front door! You can sign from anywhere in the world.

I feel that it's worth noting that a petition aimed at a very small-scale issue like this is a lot more likely to be successful, but if you know anyone who lives in Wales and especially who lives in the top end of Powys, sharing this petition link with them could be particularly influential: https://www.change.org/MachCoopFrontDoor

If you're on Twitter you could also RT this tweet.

Thank you so much for your time!

Machynlleth. Lomo LC-A. Truprint 200.

Machynlleth is another town I used to pass through as a child passenger and wish I could get out and explore.The giant clocktower (for which the foundation stone was laid in 1874) is a symbol of the town. It was undergoing maintenance when on the day I visited.

Nowadays Machynlleth is home to many "hippy types" (as one older native described them to me a few years ago.) I could not resist stopping for a coffee and a walk.
