<<Flyer CSA Workshops Oct04.pdf>> Attached is a PDF flyer from this
organisation promoting various events. The most worrying thing to my mind,
apart from the rip-off fee, is that they are distributing DIY Audit Packs.
Our Urban Centres Manager wants to learn more about the street environment
and access, but I don't think he will pay the fee. If he does, I will
report back on events.
Regards.
John.

Subject: [ACCESSIBUILT] Living Streets
Does anyone know about a charity called Living Streets
formally known as
the
Pedestrian Association. They are organising workshops in
London,
Liverpool,
Leicester and York in which they will "unpack the
implications of the
DDA
for the streetscape". This will take them half an hour. They
are also
going
to explain how to do a street audit and present findings.
Their promotion forms are not at all easy to read (using red
lettering
on a
green background) and it seems to be quite expensive. If you
want to
find
out more you can access their web pages on
www.livingstreets.org.uk -
the
website does seem on the face of it to be easy to read
although it does
not
carry any of the web accessibility symbols.
