An access guide specifically for Hertfordshire has been created by DisabledGo, a website developed by disabled people for disabled people.
Hertfordshire County Council commissioned the guide to showcase detailed access information to more than 1,000 venues and public spaces across the county including shops, restaurants, hotels, leisure centres, museums and children’s centres. The access guides gives you all the information you need to plan your journey to and from each venue and also how to get around once you are there. It also has pictures of key features like accessible parking and toilets.
DisabledGo representatives visits all venues before adding them to the guides as they believe that a venue which self-reports its access can often miss, overlook or fail to appreciate the reality of the access it provides. Also, while it may be accessible to one disabled person, it may not be for another, depending on individual disabilities.
To access the guide simply type in a place or a postcode to find out its accessibility and if, for instance, there is a disabled toilet, lift or ramp in the locality.
Colette Wyatt-Lowe, Cabinet Member for Adult Care and Health, said: “This is a fantastic tool to help disabled people in Hertfordshire become more independent.”
