Would it be possible to have a simple disc to fix to signposts, showing if a pathway or walk is suitable for wheelchair access?
Going for walks in the countryside it is often not possible to know if a pathway will be suitable once out of sight.

Very good idea you should follow it through and suggest it to the right people

Great idea, alternatively it could be done by volunteers and/or wheelchair users themselves who share the paths that they found accessible?

I agree, there aren't enough accessible paths in my opinion, and under the Equality Act 2010 I'd have thought that would be a provision of the Act...I'll spare you my long angst filled rant on that topic.

I was wondering if we could get little discs or plaques fixed to signs to show they are accessible for wheelchairs. Does anyone know how much these could cost? I may be able to get someone to sponsor these, if Scope members could apply for one and get their Parish Council to approve. What do you think?

I wish I had a suggestion here @veriterc but I have no idea how much that would cost and where you'd go to get it sorted.

If people think this a good idea I am sure we can find somewhere to make these. I just need enough enthusiasm to show a company that it would make them popular, and then I could have enough backing to go ahead.
