Liverpool road named after disability rights campaigner

A road has been named after the late disability rights campaigner Sir Bert Massie in his home city of Liverpool.

He was a leading campaigner for equality and a champion of human rights for disabled people.

Sir Bert, who was also the chairman of the former Disability Rights Commission, died in October 2017 at the age of 68.

Liverpool City Region mayor Steve Rotheram joined Sir Bert's widow as they revealed the sign in a new neighbourhood with enhanced access for disabled people.
