City of Bath
In 2018 we were approached by The City of Bath to provide access to initially their Guildhall. This was closely followed by access to the Roman Baths and the Art gallery. This provision made Bath the first fully accessible world heritage site to wheelchair users. The provision of stair climbers in the Guildhall has allowed a safe access for the Mayor of Bath to safely leave his chambers in the event of lift failure or emergency.
Within the Roman Baths there have been several incidents of lift failure in the lower areas which would have limited the access to wheelchair users and less able. With the stair climbers in place the access was therefore not limited and the continuation of good access was in place.
We followed this work up by taking over the servicing and testing of their evacuation chairs as well as the training in all three facilities.
This has allowed The City of Bath to have their access and evacuation (Service/Maintenance and Training) under one umbrella.
