Havant Borough Council Disability Access Group

EVERYBODY WELCOME!

Havant Borough Council has an active Access Group chaired by Cllr Terry Hart. The Group's membership includes disabled residents, their carers and representatives of local disability organisations, both charitable and professional. Council officers, including the Equalities and Access Officer Caren Ransom and Transport Officer Tracey Ford, are also members. The Group is regularly consulted by the Council on matters affecting the delivery of services to residents in a way that does not discriminate against those with disabilities.

The Group Offers Advice and Support

The group is available to give advice and support to all disabled residents and visitors to the Borough.

	The group can offer to shops, service providers and employers within the Borough; advice and guidance about making their jobs, business premises, goods and services they provide to the public accessible to people with disabilities, in order to comply with the legislation contained in 1995 Disability Discrimination Act.
