Accessibility Report: Cavendish Park
Members of Eastcote Residents Association are undertaking a series of surveys about the accessibility of local destinations from the point of people using electric mobility scooters, wheelchairs and other personal mobility aids. Our reviews consider both disabled car-parking and arrival by walking and wheeling from local streets.
Our first accessibility report was about Cavendish Recreation Ground. We are now putting it on the website so that residents can discus the issues raised in the report, which was previously circulated only to the committee and our ward councillors.
ERA hopes that the Council will respond positively, and take on board the need to improve access to various public amenities. We don’t have the skills to design improvements, but hopefully the council will have.
