Accessibility

We want to make everybody’s visit to Trent Lock Scout Activity Centre as enjoyable as possible. We hope that the following information is useful when planning your visit.

The public car park has designated disabled parking. From there, there is a sealed tarmac road towards the Lock following the tow path which is often uneven is on a raised flood bank and 100 m to the Scout Activity Centre landing stage. To get down onto the landing stage there is a series of steep steps with a partial handrail.

If you are not able to access steps please make us aware at the point of booking so we can ensure the ferry changes to pick you up on the canals and river trust public floating pontoon.

The site is accessed by powerboat. Individuals will be required to move themselves or supported into a boat where there are multi changes in levels.

On the site there is a ramp from the landing stage up to the main area leaving from solid ground onto grass. To enter the main building there are three steps or a steep narrow ramp with raised thresholds. The kitchen currently cannot be accessed by wheelchair users. The toilets in the main building are single cubicles. Outside of the main building there is a larger accessible toilet with grab rails.

We will make reasonable adjustments where possible to ensure that all our members can participate in the activities we provide. If any of these members planning to visit the site have any needs please ring us to discuss further.
