AN accessibility guide to shops, pubs, restaurants cinemas, theatres and public buildings is to be produced for Worcester by disability organisation DisabledGo.
Each listed venue will be visited in person by a DisabledGo surveyor, who will collect up to 1,000 pieces of information and will take measurements and photographs.
DisabledGo has already produced similar guides to over 125,000 towns and cities across the UK and the Republic of Ireland.
Barry Stevenson, chairman of DisabledGo said: “At DisabledGo.com we are passionate about empowering those with disabilities by providing essential detailed access information that enables independence and choice.
"The project that Worcester City Council has commissioned will benefit residents, visitors and local businesses and promote equality and inclusivity in the area.”
Surveyors are visiting Worcester venues in January and February 2018, with the information due to launch online in summer 2018.
The information will then be compiled into an access guide that will be promoted via www.disabledgo.com and www.worcester.gov.uk.
