Overview

I visited the promenade with some friends where I enjoyed the sun, fresh air and some fish&chips! Overall the promenade is amazing but I wanted to talk about the toilets as well which knocks some points off for me.

Transport & Parking

3

I came by bus and then rolled down Kings Road. I am not sure about parking.

Access

4

Level access right around. There is plenty of seating options at restaurants and also just along the strip where you can sit and watch the sea, or watch the rest of the world go by.

Toilets

1.5

The accessible toilet is, on paper, accessible. It is behind the main toilet hut (behind Oscar’s stall). There is a ramp up to the door, which opens with a RADAR key, and pushes inward. The toilet has hand rails and space for a wheelchair to move around (just). Inside you have to go round a bend and then you’re in the main toilet area. The lighting is awful so I used my mobile phone flash to help me see. The red cord is barely a cord, it reaches six inches from the ceiling never mind from the floor. There is a tiny sink which isn’t very accessible. The area isn’t very clean either which isn’t a great feeling to be around in COVID times.

Anything else you wish to tell us?

There were no particular Covid precautions outside. The toilets were working a “one person at a time” system to ensure social distancing.
