Scooters
Robert Feeney Associates is researching a number of topics concerned with
buildings and housing design for the DoE, as preparation for the proposed
revisions of BS 5619 and BS 5810.
An issue which appears to be of increasing importance is that of the needs
of scooter users. The space requirements for scooter users would appear to
be much greater than those for electric or manual wheelchairs in critical
areas such as corridors, toilets, and in manoeuvring spaces generally.
Does anyone have particular experience with scooters in buildings? Are
there any reports, surveys etc., available? Is there a group who have
taken particular interest in the topic? Finally, if this forum is not
appropriate for such questions is there any other forum that might be?
