QUESTION NO. 23

QUESTION: Councillor F. Timmons

To ask the Chief Executive how the issue of wheelchair accessibility in Community Centres can be addresses and to ask would he make a statement on same?

REPLY:

A recent review of community facilities requested that all relevant boards of management outline accessibility levels within their centres, including providing details of ramps, accessible entrances/exits, toilets and lifts. Some follow-ups are now required to complete the full picture of current accessibility levels across our community centres.

Accessibility is built into the universal design process employed by our Architects' Department for all recent and planned community facilities and where accessibility is an issue in older community facilities, this will be addressed where possible and practicable within the planned maintenance programme for community centres.
