This is so good to see. In my research, older adults always express desire to walk & wheel more from their front doors. Fab to have @BeyondEmpowerUK supporting this LAs need to address the infra: - pavement parking - poor quality pavements - crossing points - dropped kerbs

Infrastructure is critical. “Just squeeze through these barriers”, “just step over that kerb” might ‘just’ be impossible for a disabled person. We campaign for infrastructure that meets all our needs, leaving none behind. #ActiveTravel #MobilityJustice
