TRANSPORT - ACCESS for ALL

Access across Broomwood is very poor indeed and the area has now become virtually un-walkable for many residents, this is now impacting on both Health & Environment as well as detracting from capital values of private and social housing schemes in the area by badly reducing disabled access to key facilities and shops etc.

Since 1st October 2004 some areas of Broomwood fall far below current minimum legal requirements.
