Surrey Countryside – making it accessible to all
Find out about how The Coalition have been working with the team at Surrey Hills to improve access to the beautiful Surrey countryside
Our lovely members and staff have been getting stuck in mud, wheeling around natural play parks, testing out the countryside gates and checking accessibility of the cafes to help the Surrey Hills National Landscape with their work on making the countryside accessible to all. This is supported by government funding to help improve accessibility to National Parks and National Landscapes.
Surrey Coalition of Disabled People have been working with the Surrey Hills team to audit some of the beautiful Surrey Hills countryside such as Box Hill, Devil’s Punchbowl and Newlands Corner to understand what actions and projects would generate the most valuable outcomes for Disabled People and those with long term health conditions when visiting the countryside.
The Surrey Hills team are now reviewing the feedback and are developing a plan for the next steps. We’ll keep you posted!
