Claybury Park

A perfect 0: Accessibility Inclusion

Here’s a picture of the restored barriers at the entrances to Claybury Park.  The chance to get to the Sheffield stands on the far side would be a fine thing …

And here’s the list of the types of bicycle that, now, can and cannot get through the park gates.  Note that, in a quest for full exclusivity, whilst pretending otherwise, only standard bikes without panniers can pass through – if you’ve got panniers on your road bike, you’re going to need to take them off..

As exclusive as it gets.

In a recent email we have seen, a member of staff from Vision, the lot who run the park on behalf of Redbridge Culture and Leisure, wrote that part of the gates accept a RADAR key. If only that solved the problem: many of the riders now prevented from entering the Park – my wife and I on our tandem, parents with tag-alongs, hipsters with their dogs in a buggy, don’t qualify for a RADAR key.

We think its time for Redbridge Council to remove the track through the Park from its map of cycle routes.

We are waiting for the Council’s response to our Freedom of Information Request and we’ll see where we go from there.

Tidy work though …
