Disabled people regularly face disappointment, lost money and inconvenience when trusting they can access something that is described incorrectly as 'accessible'.

They travel to or book tickets for places so described only to find its not accessible for them.

The problem is 'accessible' means different things to different people depending on their own needs.

Mandating the addition of a list of accessibility features allows disabled people to decide if a venue or service will be accessible to them or not.
