Hi Sue
Anything which requires a gravel infil is dreadful! The gravel is for ever
all over the pavements which can cause falls/trips. also the gravel is
extremely accident-prone in wet weather!

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
