A disabled mother with one leg has been forced to crawl up a flight of concrete stairs to get to her flat for years, despite the local council promising to get her an accessible home. Tracey Whiteside, 48, has had to crawl up and down 17 stairs every day to her second-floor flat in Linwood, Renfrewshire, for almost four years. The situation has had a devastating impact on her mental and physical health, with doctors warning that the extra strain on her remaining leg could cause her to lose it.
