Any suggestions please
My elderly father-in-law is very frail and has difficulty getting out of his armchair due to the rocking mechanism. Does anyone know where I can go to get something made to hold the chair firm and basically stop the rocking mechanism from being able to rock? I had a look on google and you can get wooden blockers but I’m not sure where to go to have one made up as all the carpenters seem to be cabinet/kitchen focussed, not a little job like this. Thanks in advance for any help pointing me in the right direction :)

Poll: Do you want the water tower to stay?
Cambridge may not have to say goodbye to its historic water tower just yet as the council investigates a new, more affordable, way to preserve it.
However its final fate may rest on the outcome of a new detailed seismic assessment due to be completed by the end of the year.
Do you want the water tower to stay? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
