Hi Jo-Anne
Thanks for your comments - we are reviewing our Design for Access 2
manual and although we have circulation space specified in our
kitchen, I notice we don't include living rooms (although we do when
we are doing access audits!)
It's a really good point and I will make sure it is included in our
next revision,
Best wishes
Flick
