Barriers to Access

We believe that all paths should be available to all wherever possible. This applies whether you are walking, scooting, in a wheelchair or mobility scooter, or cycling. Have you come across any barriers to access whilst trying to use paths in the Whitby and District area?

Please do report all that you find and we will try to do something about it.

Promoting Active Travel Groups

Walking

Groups are available from ambles through to rambles, for all levels of fitness.

Wheeling

Activities for the disabled.

Cycling

Groups for starting cycling again, through to more competitive road cycling.

Horseriding

Equestrian groups for all levels of proficiency.

Facilitating new infrastructure

With very low levels of cycle infrastructure, the potential for improvement is vast. Similarly many walking paths are in poor state of repair or simply not fully accessible to all. We will work towards obtaining funding to remedy these issues to provide the public with what they need to reap the health benefits.
