Lack of accessibility to and inside Albert Road Recreation Ground for all

Access is difficult for wheelchair users of all ages, with uneven pavements along Albert Road, and the pedestrian gate in Richmond Road is too hard to manoeuvre through. Added to these unnecessary accessibility barriers, there are no disabled parking bays in the car park.

The playground is outdated and not DDA-compliant. As a result, local children with special needs are excluded from playing alongside their siblings and peers.

All children deserve safe, inclusive places to play. We call on the Council to urgently:
•    Upgrade the playground with inclusive, accessible equipment
•    Improve wheelchair access throughout the park
•    Provide designated disabled parking near the entrance

Albert Road Rec should be a space for everyone. Please act now to make it inclusive.
