We hear from activists from the 29 disability and inclusion groups who have written to the new Labour government to demand that all new housing be made accessible.

The letter to 10 Downing Street was followed by a day of action. Adam Gabsi from Inclusion London, and wheelchair-user, Sam Cornelius-Light, tell presenter Paul Carter why they feel the issue needs ministers’ urgent attention.

Plus, with less than a month to go until the Paralympics being, we hear from two Para GB competitors heading to Paris - Beth Munro and Jonathan Broom-Edwards.

Presented by Paul Carter Production by Daniel Gordon and Alex Collins Recorded by Jonny Hall Mixed by Ben Mundy Edited by Beth Rose and Ben Mundy
