Hi Sue
I've only ever seen this sort of paving used on grassy areas, never gravel - it helps with grass, but gravel is always difficult with wheels, unless it's Coxwell Gravel, which is partially bonded.

Subject: [ACCESSIBUILT] Ecoblock paving surface
A pathway to the main entrance of a new public building has been proposed
using Ecoblock - see www.civilsandlintels.co.uk/pdfs_new/Ecoblock.pdf
I would be grateful for any information you have as to the accessibility for
disabled people with mobility impairments using the surface with a gravel
infill.
Does it provide a suitable surface to meet the requirements of Part M?
The website for more information is: www.civilsandlintels.co.uk
Thanks
