Twickenham Access Survey Report

Back in spring, we completed an access survey of Twickenham Town Centre, which looked at the accessibility of shops, cafes, eateries, banks and other businesses in Twickenham. A team of disabled and non-disabled volunteers went round various premises and took measurements, listed features and took comments, which were then converted into this report. The results are really interesting.
