Overall Rating
Good
It was reasonably accessible. I could get my powerchair into the building.
Disabled Access In and Around
Good
There was ramped access into the building and down onto the recess area. The ramp down to recess area was quite narrow and the none slip mat had bunched up slightly. There was a rail on the right of the ramp. There was a lift up to the upper floors but the lift said it cannot take scooters. I did not see an induction loop or braille labels. There was plenty of seating. The doors were fire doors and were not electric. There was an emergency evacuation chair upstairs.
Parking & Transport
Excellent
Close to wheelchair accessible bus network. Disabled badge holder on street parking is available near the venue.
Accessible Toilets
Good
Disabled loo was combined with baby changing facilities. Toilet is not locked. Alarm cord had been cut short. Toilet was left side transfer. There was a mirror but no coat hooks. Toilet is accessed through several heavy fire doors. There was no changing places toilet. The toilet was clean. There were no signs that I could see pointing to toilet.
Additional Information
There was a large group of people drinking alcohol and smoking in the doorway. To improve I reccomend fixing the mat on the ramp, lengthening the emergency cord in toilet, having a hook for bag in toilet and having automatic doors. Toilet roll & flush could be lower too. Update: They extended the emergency cord after I emailed them about it.
