    You'll find two EV terminals at this location and two bays, but they come with common access issues and are no wider than a standard parking space. If you're a long-distance traveller with a mobility-related impairment, you may find them difficult to use unaided.

    The car park is in decent condition, so I guess there’s that. As mentioned, both bays are single width. Both terminals provide 50 kW CHAdeMO, 50 kW CCS and 22 kW Type 2 charging options. Both terminals have bollards in front and are raised on a kerb. The single-width bays may cause an issue if you transfer from a mobility aid into the driver’s seat, and the layout makes it difficult to get between your car and the terminals when parked. The kerb elevation increases the height of the card reader and the cable.s The cable on the side of the unit was impossible for me to reach whilst seated in my wheelchair.

    Accessible facilities: Single-level venue, Step-free entrance

    I travelled to this place by personal vehicle

    There is space for around seven cars in the car park, but two bays are EV only and none of the remaining bays are accessible parking spaces.

    Accessible facilities: Electric Vehicle Charging, Dedicated on-site parking

    Accessible Toilets

    There are public toilets a short distance from the car park. There is an accessible toilet but I can't rate it, as i didn't use it.

    Staff

    This facility is not staffed.

    Brand new tech without a thought for accessibility. I guess disabled people don't count.
