A woman was in tears after arriving for a day out at a popular Cheshire safari park after she was allegedly turned away at the gates.
The woman was refused entry because she did not have a particular card proving she was disabled - despite 'the fact that I was strapped into my wheelchair in my accessible car', she claims.
Ellie Greenaway, from St Helens, visited Knowsley Safari Park park on Tuesday, April 3. She is disabled and has an accessible car, but claims she was refused entry as she did not have a card to prove she was disabled.
Knowsley Safari Park have said all carers attending the park are required to have the particular access card. A spokesperson said they were sorry to hear about Ellie’s experience and said they would be happy to look into the incident further.
