Mr Smart had been increasing issues with his mobility and fell off the toilet before his doctor wrote to Bristol City Council chiefs demanding he have properly accessible bathroom facilities at his council flat.

He says he is now having to wash himself with wet wipes and flannels, and said it is degrading. "My arm and body goes into spasms if I try it, it’s bloody stupid.”The situation is making Mr Smart increasingly depressed.
