2 Introduction

Welcome to the 4th edition of Age Concern Wanganui’s Accessibility Guide for older people in our district.

The information in this booklet gives a brief description of the degrees of access to important areas in Whanganui and outlying towns. For those interested in trying something new we have included venues that host a variety of clubs. It is a guide only and is in no way connected with any Barrier Free Organization or Representative. We acknowledge that everyone has different disabilities – what may be easy for some may be harder for others but we hope it will assist you in enjoying getting out and about within our district.

Reminder!! There are many heritage buildings which may restrict movement into and around them. We suggest you ring any such establishment before you try to navigate. Enjoy!

3 Before setting out:

Plan your route and pick your time – make allowances for work and school traffic.

• Make sure that you can see and be seen • Stick to the footpath where you can • Be courteous to others.

The law says that you must use the footpath if it is readily accessible and stay close to the side of the road where a footpath is not readily accessible.

(ref. “Keeping mobile: How to safely use your mobility scooter” NZ Transport Agency April 2014)
