Surprised that the new entrance on Underhill Road doesn?t have a ramp for disabled or buggy access.


The two extant entrances (when they are open, currently Forest Hill Road entrance is shut for remedial works until 21st) both have full access. The steps are quite steep from Underhill - I wonder whether the space necessary to build a user-friendly ramp slope was available, it would have to curve round quite a way? The new 'upper' surface is mounded over existing graves - maybe building a curving access slope would have interfered (or was feared that it would interfere) with old (and now 'buried') burials.

The gate is lovely. Yes, it would be better if there were a ramp, but given that the other entrances are fully open to all and that this was part of a revamp of the cemetery istelf - ie. not just a plan to put in a new entrance - I think it is rational to have this entrance as it is. I am sure the council will have been through all the procedures to make sure the entrance does not constitute a snub to people in wheelchairs.

    • I had a leaky toilet cistern and Niko came out the same day and not only fixed the leak but thoroughly cleaned off the years of calcium build-up. His attention to detail was matched by his kind humanity. The result was a completely renovated toilet which has never worked more efficiently as well as 'service with a smile'. MANY THANKS NIKO!!!  
    • I am trying to find out about people's experiences of the 4+ and 7+ assessments. I am a teacher and have a wealth of experience tutoring for theses assessments (including my own son), but it's always good to keep on top of things as they always make tweaks to them. TIA!

    • "You have no idea why"   To be fair Sue, it's blindingly obvious to anyone who has a conversation with anyone who isn't a Corbyn supporter. And even some who liked Corbyn (like me initially) found him somewhat flaky even at his most popular But let's say you are right and I have NO idea why anybody might not vote for him. They still didn't vote for him. He lost two elections. The second one badly (and strongly predicted but the stubborn old goat wouldn't budge so we we were stuck with Johnson and another 3 million PMs in the 5 years that followed) So even with ZERO evidence, we have our eyes and ears and brains But we do have evidence   https://yougov.co.uk/politics/articles/27022-their-own-words-why-voters-abandoned-labour
