Full description:
We are developing a research project that will measure how “accessible” green and blue spaces are across England, and how this changes over time. Before we finalise how we do this, we want to check that what we plan to measure (for example: step-free routes, ramps, dropped kerbs, path surfaces, accessible toilets, seating, entrance widths) actually reflects what matters most to people with lived experience of mobility disability.
