For this reason, Landmark's Site Sensitivity maps and Datasheet(s) place great emphasis on statutory data provided by the Environment Agency and the Scottish Environment Protection Agency; it also incorporates data from Natural England (and the Scottish and Welsh equivalents) and Local Authorities; and highlights hydrogeological features required by environmental and geotechnical consultants. It does not include any information concerning past uses of land. The datasheet is produced by querying the Landmark database to a distance defined by the client from a site boundary provided by the client. In the attached datasheet the National Grid References (NGRs) are rounded to the nearest 10m in accordance with Landmark's agreements with a number of Data Suppliers.

  • Toilet Facilities
    12 Toilet Facilities Toilets on coaches and trains Coaches, such as those operated on National Express services, all have a washroom and toilet on board. However they are not accessible to wheelchair users. Because a toilet is provided, the service may not make a toilet stop en route. Accessible toilets are being introduced on new trains on long distance routes; you can ask about this facility when you book your ticket. The majority of trains on the Birmingham to Coventry line have wheelchair accessible toilets. Trains used on other local services in the West Midlands have toilets that are suitable for most people but are not wheelchair accessible. However, most accessible local rail stations have accessible toilet facilities. The RADAR scheme There are many places now with accessible toilets in the West Midlands. Many of them are controlled with a key that is operated under the RADAR National Key Scheme (NKS). The NKS offers independent access to disabled people to around 7,000 locked public toilets around the country. It ensures that people who need them can always find a suitable and accessible toilet in a good clean condition. It is the policy of Centro to provide NKS toilets at as many bus stations as possible. To obtain a key, please contact your local council. 76 Accessible toilets in the West Midlands Listed below are NKS or similar accessible toilets available in the West Midlands, including local bus and rail stations. Most facilities are unisex. A more detailed list of accessible toilets in the West Midlands is available on the Nationwide Access Register website: http://nks.directenquiries.com.

This has been in a period when the challenge to our area has never been greater. At the time of writing this article in December 2019, the West Midland Metro tram extension has been emerging in Centenary Square as the latest stage of that project. Along the length of Broad Street there is still much disruption as this extension slowly moves forward. We are committed to working with the Mayor’s office and the team who are building the tram extension, offering encouragement as a critical friend. In other areas we have consulted in detail with our membership on the content of our proposal to continue as a BID. You have told us three things: 1. You want to see more of our wardens’ patrols.
