Accessible Car Parking and Entrances 

Some of our car parking spaces are dedicated to Blue Badge Holders. The spaces are easily recognisable, with the international wheelchair symbol on the ground and yellow hash lines around the bay. 

There are automatic entrance doors or push door release buttons when entering our buildings. 

All our entrances are accessible with wide doorways to cater to wheelchair users.  Our front-of-house desks are lowered to enable wheelchair users to access the reception desks.

At Meridian Leisure Centre and Station Leisure & Learning Centre, there are accessible entrance gates to certain areas of the facilities. The front-of-house team operate the turnstile gate.
