From:

as a wheelchair user I want pavement that aren't covered in parked cars and poorly maintained (and at a vile camber) and accessible busses that run on time and go where I need.

Complete car ban would make it hard to get some places, but that is a need for BETTER BUSSES not more cars.

The main issue I see is for people who are short-term disabled and can't *get to the bus* because wheelchairs are expensive and take time to get. (and ALSO the NHS should buy people decent wheelchairs as soon as they need them to get the bus and not assume they have car access so only need to be able to get as far as the car; or indeed HAND OUT wheelchairs from stock to the temporarily disabled, and ones you can WHEEL YOURSELF, or electrically powered, and stop assuming a carer)

(my inability to drive is probably unconnected to my disability, but exists; so to get to non bus places I have to find someone to drive me, maybe a taxi, it is VERY INCONVENIET)
