Access Surveys

  Have you ever had any difficulties getting into a shop you’d like to visit?

Ever needed somewhere to rest during a busy shopping trip?

Wish the price displays were easier to read?

Richmond AID began to undertake surveys of local shops, cafes, restaurants and business last year, starting with Teddington and Hampton Wick. In order to promote awareness of Access issues and to provide information about accessibility we have produced a number of reports and guides which explain how accessible the high streets of Richmond are. Richmond AID has produced reports of Teddington and Hampton Wickwith the results of our research.

We have also published a guide to the shops and facilities in Teddington so that residents and visitors can have a reference of how accessible local businesses and services are. We are currently conducting audits of other areas, and are looking for volunteers to support this work. Richmond AID is an organisation of disabled people, for disabled people, and it is our aim that the Access Audits are undertaken by disabled people. If you are would like to take part, contact Jamie Cutler, Access Officer, on 020 8831 6072 or e-mail j.cutler@richmondaid.org.uk.
