Document summary
This two-part study investigates the barriers to streetscape access for disabled people in the UK. The pavements, streets and paths that make up our outdoor environment are critical in allowing people to move with freedom, exercise and access critical parts of society, such as GP practices, shops and social locations. However, streetscapes have been shown to be inaccessible across a range of measures, which have significant impacts on disabled people’s lives. The work has shown the critical importance of involving disabled people in decision making; has highlighted significant deficiencies in the way in which complaints are handled by local authorities and shown the negative impact on disabled people because of these challenges. This work is the first to provide a statistically validated and prioritised list of recommendations based on the combination of two studies.
