The current width restrictions in place on several public footpaths and bridleways in Thurrock are restricting access to Mobility Scooters and Wheelchair users alike and have forced many users to turn back or rethink their routes around their local area.

Certain footpaths are not big enough for scooters and wheelchairs and restrict access with kissing gates and padlocked gates. Some paths are not even suitable for disabled access.

We are calling for full access to all these trails within the Thurrock area and allow disabled users to enjoy themselves as much as the able bodied person can.
