Wheeled Mobility

Paving can be so smooth it becomes slippery when it is wet

Disabled people believe they can park at the end of Bath St but there are no dropped kerbs

Many disabled people take steps to avoid crowds in the city centre

If you don’t know where the dropped kerbs are moving around Bath can be difficult

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?

Tactile paving can be difficult to cross for wheelchair users

Level surface popular with wheelchair users and some people with sight loss but is problematic for others

A-boards present issues for many disabled people

Parked cars can block dropped kerbs

Smooth paving makes wheelchair users feel comfortable and safe
