removable ramp would make it easier for wheelchair users to access the beach.  <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<p><strong>RESIDENTS<\/strong>&nbsp;of Barry have called&nbsp;for better disabled access on Whitmore Bay due to a lack of ramps and beach chairs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p>In a Facebook post last week, some residents suggested a ramp should be built to make it easier to take wheelchairs onto the beach.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Sian Thomas, 50, of Winston Road, said: \u201cIt would be fantastic to roll down to the sea as I haven\u2019t been able to go on the beach in 12 years.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<p>However, a representative for Barry Island Tourist Centre said it would be impossible to build a ramp on Whitmore Bay because the beach has the second highest tidal range in the world.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Local beach-goer\u00a0Deb Powell, 52, suggested: \u201cSome form of roll out\/in one would be good, given the tides.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n<p>But there is the question of who would put it out and take it down each day?<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Residents also raised the issue of the beach chairs Whitmore Bay offer for wheelchair users who want to go onto the sand.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Beach chairs are\u00a0purpose-built\u00a0wheelchairs made with large, rubber wheels that are designed to help move across the sand more easily.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n<figure

elderly.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p>There is no limit for how long you can use the chairs, but this a problem because only three chairs are available.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Vanessa Earle, 50, who was born in Cardiff and is now a frequent visitor from her home in Surrey, said she had \u201cno idea the chairs even existed\u201d.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<p>She added: \u201cOn a hot day you\u2019re\u00a0going to get lots of people wanting to use them and if you get there early and sit down on the beach then that wheelchair is gone for the day.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<figure

The current chairs were funded by the Big Lottery Fund and the Environment Agency.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p>During the summer months, a charity called Race Dragons of Cardiff bring extra beach chairs to Whitmore Bay to help with the demand.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p>However, the chairs are hard to move independently.&nbsp;Vanessa Earle said: \u201cThe difficultly for me is that I don\u2019t have much strength in my arms so I can\u2019t&nbsp;actually move&nbsp;my wheelchair on my own unless it is electric, I rely on someone else to push me.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Sian Thomas has a similar issue and said:&nbsp;\u201cI have an elderly Mum.
