A war of words has broken out between a wheelchair-bound man and his local shop after he was refused entry.
Maurice Mee, who lives in Bowthorpe, tried entering Clover Hill News shop on September 12 at 11am but was denied entry.
However the shop's owner says it's because the shop is too small for the wheelchair to manoeuvre through.
Mr Mee has been in a wheelchair since breaking his back after a motorcycle accident in 2014.
Mr Mee's carer and younger brother, Leroy Man, says the 58-year-old's mental health has plummeted after the incident.
Mr Man, 51, said: "It's been eight years since his crash and only last year did he start to get out and gain back some independence.
"He went to Clover Hill News just to get some milk and the staff were shouting at him not to come in with his wheelchair."
"There's no room for him to move around in the shop with his wheelchair" the 67-year-old said.
"When he tried to come in the other day I politely asked him to stay outside and we'd serve him."
Mr Man added the incident has left his brother "feeling discriminated against as well as embarrassed and upset - he's been belittled by it all.
"He used to be such a proud man and it took a massive effort for him to get out but this will set him back months for his mental health."
Mr Selva said: "When he turns or moves in his wheelchair it's knocking my stock off the shelves which I then have to clean up.
"He's not barred and we haven't refused to serve him - but he wants to come in and it'll mess up the shop."
