Disabled Worcester residents avoid city centre parking due to unsafe, inaccessible conditions; forum demands accessibility overhaul.
Disabled residents in Worcester are avoiding the city centre due to unsafe and inaccessible parking, with the Worcester Disability Forum urging a full accessibility audit of council-owned car parks.
Barriers include steep inclines, narrow walkways, uneven surfaces, insufficient accessible bays, and height-restricting barriers that block adapted vehicles.
The forum calls for improved signage, redesigned barriers, and inclusive layouts, emphasizing the need for disabled people to help shape changes.
The city council acknowledges the concerns, notes its commitment to inclusion, and says it’s working with the forum and hosting engagement events, though no specific plans have been detailed.
All 14 city car parks hold Park Mark accreditation for safety and upkeep.
