Access Alliance comprises a number of people with disabilities and their allies who are working to realise their vision of a "Barrier Free Enviroment". By this we mean we want boroughs in which people, irrespective of whatever impairments they may have, enjoy an equal unimpeded access to buildings and services as the rest of the population. To this end the group undertakes a number of activities including:
Access audits of buildings and other public spaces such as parks and town squares;
Scrutiny of planning applications and making recommendations with respect to Disability Discrimination Act compliance.
Contacting local government, health and other service providers to improve the quality of life and well-being of people with disabilities.
Raising public awareness of all matters relating to people with disabilities; and
Holding regular meetings for members to monitor the work the group is doing and to raise concerns they may have on disability issues.
