Document summary

Imtac published a policy statement on shared surface/space schemes in 2009. In this statement the Committee highlighted the widespread concerns about the emergence of the shared space concept expressed by disabled people, older people and organisations representing them. The statement called for a moratorium on this type of scheme – until such time as it could be demonstrated that they are safe and inclusive.Since the publication of this 2009 statement there have been significant developments in relation to shared space. Given these developments Imtac has decided to refresh and update its statement on the subject.
