Glen from Central Whangarei

I wanted to share this WDC is starting to listen to DPA Northland

Just a snippet of the WDC Active Recreation and sport summary findings

People with disabilities

 Accessible facilities and programmes

 Need a good supply of universally accessible facilities and outdoor activity areas

 Improved information required on the opportunities available

 Wider consideration of access needs (e.g. pathways round/ adjacent to the sports field, lifts to accommodate mobility scooters)

 Work to ensure all facilities have accessibility audit and improvement plan.

 Transport and parking considered a significant barrier to accessibility

 Provide increased access to mobility scooter charging points
