Mrs Isabel Mattick reported that dropped kerbs often had ‘bobbles’ for the visually impaired. However, this created difficulties for those with mobility problems and asked if an area of smooth pavement on dropped kerbs could be investigated. Phillip Burke undertook to investigate and feed back to the Department for Transport. (Action: Phillip Burke)

Phillip Burke highlighted the current consultation on Accessibility from the Department for Transport which may be of interest to the group especially page 19 with regards to tactile paving.

Fiona Goodhand reported that this would be the last meeting for her due to retirement. The group thanked her for her contributions.

Mark Sanders reported concerns regarding the pedestrian area of Market Street which would be a risk to the public from delivery lorries. Phillip Burke undertook to investigate the possibility of installing a barrier or warning sign. (Action: Phillip Burke)

Mark Sanders also highlighted that the flumes at Coral Reef were not open at off peak times. He asked whether sessions could be included during the week as this was when autistic people and people with learning difficulties would most likely visit and they would like to access the full facilities.
