Paving Quality

Footway width, quality and height on Grove St mean wheelchair users need to use the road

Cobbles and lack of dropped kerbs make it difficult for scooter users at Bath St/Store St corner

Why are there cobbles on Union Street?

Smooth paving makes wheelchair users feel comfortable and safe

Puddles can form at dropped kerbs

Old Orchard St is an area to avoid with wheelchairs

Asphalt is the easiest surface to push on and feels safe

Uneven paving causes difficulties for everyone

Southgate Centre popular due to wheelchair access

Low tonal contrast between pavement and road and unpredictable level changes cause issues for people with sight loss
