Partnership Update - December 2006 / New Year 2007

Can anyone help Ashbourne Access Group?

The Ashbourne Area Access group, formed in 1997, covers the DE6 postal district (huge!) We speak for issues of general accessibility for disabled people as well as parents with push-chairs.

This is a small voluntary group who can advise members, shops and businesses or put them in touch with more specialised bodies. We have published guides listing Eating places, Public buildings and the town Shops. These are available free from the tourist office.

The group is consulted on planning for highway and footpath improvements. We work closely with all the local councils, as the needs arise, together with village halls, and churches etc. The D.D.A. (Disability Discrimination Act) has brought a big growth of calls for advice from all quarters.

We would warmly welcome offers of help in general and in particular with revision of the guides.
