Rushcliffe Borough Council was delighted to receive grant funding from the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities for the new changing place toilet facility in the visitor’s centre, allowing park users with mobility challenges to change at the site more easily, ensuring even greater access for those with profound and multiple disabilities.
It was also supported by third party match funding by the Friends group’s fundraising activities in the park.
Astor Bannerman were asked to supply and install equipment for the room, including an OverHead Hoist, Height Adjustable Washbasin and a height adjustable changing table.
Deputy Mayor Cllr Debbie Mason and Cabinet Portfolio Holder for Communities and Climate Change Cllr Abby Brennan met Friends of Rushcliffe Country Park chairperson Ann Towle and Park Manager Alastair Glenn to view the new facilities at an opening event today (Wednesday).
Cllr Brennan said:
“These are exciting new facilities that will attract even more numbers to our wonderful park and we were very pleased to work with the Friends of the Park to ensure they were shaped with their members’ views in mind.”
“The café, upgraded visitors centre and conference room and new toilets are warmly welcomed and I am sure will be appreciated by thousands of visitors from near and far.”
