EVA in Colwyn Bay.

This morning I joined Inspector Essi Ahari, two of his officers from Colwyn bay Station, Diversity Officer Chloe Davies, and Councilor Chris Hughes for an Environmental Visual Audit of the centre of Colwyn Bay.

The idea of an EVA is to look at the access issues surrounding a particular area from the point of view those of us who use wheelchairs or have other disabilities. Inspector Ahari, and officers Andy and Sian, were good enough to volunteer to come along with me and spend some time in a wheelchair to see for themselves what wheelchair users have to face on a daily basis.

We started from Colwyn Bay police Station and made our way down towards Station Road. The first problem we encountered was at the junction of Abergele Road and Woodland Road east. The kerbs here are very uneven and problematic for those who have mobility issues.

We then went down Station Road, which has been vastly improved in recent months, and turned in to the Bay View Shopping Centre. These pedestrian areas are much better and user friendly than if traffic is moving all round you. Here is Inspector Ahari finding out first hand what it’s like to maneuver a wheelchair in the street.

Back on Abergele Road, we came across another pet hate of mine. Rain Gullys! If these gullys sink at all, they become major obstacles for wheelchair users and can cause a chair to tip forward if you are not careful.

I would like to thank Inspector Essi and his Officers, Councilor Hughes and the Members of the Press who came along to do some interviews, for giving up their valuable time to bring these issues to the public eye.

There are more road works causing disruption at the Pen-y-Clip Tunnels.

Buses are being diverted back through Penmeanmawr and on to the A55, where they join the contraflow system to bypass the tunnel.

I would advise you to think about adding extra time and taking extra care if you’re driving on the roads, especially if you’re on this part of the A55.

Are You Adventurous?

 

Then why not do something exciting and raise money for a good cause at the same time.

Antur Waunfawr

 

Today, I met a lovely Lady and Gentleman, Sian and Gareth, on the bus to Caernarfon.

They told me about a place I would be very interested in visiting called Antur Waunfawr.

Here is a bit from their website.

Although it looks beautiful to many people, on the roads snow can cause major problems for travellers.

Accidents have been rife all across the affected area, and this is bound to put extra strain on local A&E units like the one at Ysbyty Glan Clwyd in Bodelwyddan.

So, my message is,  take it easy on the roads and be careful out there!

 

If you have a Learning Disability and are interested in work opportunities, you should look in to Day Opportunity service.
