AFAIK wheelchair access is by means of a portable ramp put over the

But, dozens of people work there. It must be 'accessible'. Surely?



I know of step-free access at the rear of Downing Street but I've no
idea if staff use that or what'd be involved in moving the door from
the lobby through to the rear and then to transport.Â* So I await with
interest Surely's response.



Indeed. And of course we don't know whether there's a little workshop
on the premises. Even so, we seem to know more than the present
government does.


I'd still like to know how the door would be moved around upright on a
trolley inside Downing Street to this "little workshop" (given the size
of the door, a space bigger than offices people fight for a share in
there).


Indeed. I have to admit that I've been in the Treasury, but never in No.
10. So, I don't know my way round.

There are lots of ways to accomplish this task without 8 people.

The obvious one is to have a two-part door, with a lightweight fascia
that can be removed for painting.

Or a customised trolley that enables the door to be carried around at an
angle or rotated through 90 degrees.

This all reminds me of Maxwell's Demons.
