New
Forest Access For All was
formed in 1997 to ensure that Local Authorities and Local Businesses are
made aware of the many access problems faced by all members of the community,
and not just people with disabilities.

wheelchairs, it also covers many other
issues such as:
- Carrying out
access surveys and help with
information when required
- Safe Pedestrian
Crossings
- Clean, Safe,
Accessible Public Toilets
- Safe, Accessible
Parking
- Good Clear Signage
- Access to Leisure
Facilities
- Accessible Public
Transport
- Supporting Shopmobility
Schemes

to Shops
- Improved Access
to Public Buildings (Libraries, Museums etc.)

On
a very cold winters day Members of New Forest Disability
Information Service working with the vice chair for New
Forest Access For All out with rangers from the Forestry
Commission explaining the problems opening gates in the
New Forest. In due course these will be changed.
May 2007 some of new catches which can be opened from either
side being installed on some of the entrances to the enclosures.
