Repairs have caused new accessibility problem

Following the repairs to the junction of Summerhouse Hill and Moreton Road in Buckingham (which now looks much better), a very elderly resident, Mr Blackall, has contacted me to ask why the dropped kerb was changed from right at the turn into Summerhouse Hill to a few yards up the hill. His issue is that this new layout makes it difficult for him to move his wife in her wheelchair across that junction now, as it now requires two sharp turns to get to the road from one pavement and then onto the other pavement after crossing the road.

I have looked at the kerbs in question and can see what his problem is. Whereas in the past, a wheelchair or pushchair user had more or less straight access from the pavement to the road and then back up to the pavement, it now does indeed require several sharp turns. I can see the advantage of the new layout, in terms of having to cross a short stretch of road, but as it is a fairly quiet side road, this is probably only a minor advantage. Whereas the sharp turns would indeed be difficult to negotiate for a very elderly person pushing a wheelchair. I am attaching a few pictures of the new road layout.

IIt would be very helpful to reinstate the dropped kerb at the corner with Moreton Avenue to improve accessibility for wheelchair and mobility scooter users, as well as for pushchairs.
