South Shropshire Access Group was set up in 1993 and ever since has been working together with disabled people and other organisations to raise awareness of the needs and problems disabled people have in relation to access issues.

The major achievement the group has had is persuading the rail company to provide ramped access to the south-bound platform at Ludlow Railway Station.

The Group has also succesfully asked the Highways Authority to provide dropped kerbs throughout the South Shropshire District.

The Access Group is available for consultation on development proposals to try to ensure that access issues are addressed at an early stage.

Our current Chairman Richard Phillips is also a former Mayor of Ludlow and past Chairman of South Shropshire District Council. For contact details and current members of the Access Group Committee please click.

The Group has produced an Access Guide to Ludlow which details the accessibility of premises in and around Ludlow. To access or download the guide please click here.

It is hoped that Access guides to other towns and villages in South Shropshire will be available in the future.

The Access Group meets bi-monthly on the 2nd Tuesday of the month at 7.30 pm (1st meeting March, AGM in November). The meetings take place at Guy Thorneycroft Court, Tollgate Road (off Sheet Road), Ludlow SY8 1TL.
