Ross-on-Wye Library

I have needed to use the library for a meeting with a Lloyds bank representative who occupies a room on a Friday and also for a pain group meeting. There is a good ramp access at the front of the building but once in, some other areas are harder to navigate around. You can borrow a computer but they are hard to access in a wheelchair, being in a tight alcove. The room that the bank uses is difficult to get in and out of, in a larger powered wheelchair. The room used by the group is suitable though. I’ve never borrowed, or looked for, a book however so I can’t comment on that. I must add that Ross on Wye town centre is not especially manual wheelchair friendly, although better in a powered chair. This is due to it being on a hill and the pathway next to the library is exceptionally steep. There are few dropped kerbs, and those present are not necessarily where you need them. Many of the shops have steps to access them, due to being on a hill. I tend to not use them rather than have to get someone’s attention to find out if they have a ramp. I am always on my own so it’s too much hassle.
