The public sector equality duty created by the Equality Act 2010 places legal duties on local authorities to provide equal access to services and opportunities to all those with
protected characteristics. However, the term ‘inclusive design’ tends to conjure up an image of someone who is disabled rather than someone with other protected characteristics: a pregnant woman, an older person, a child.

Such non-disabled protected groups make up a large proportion of society. Children, especially, have seen their freedoms dramatically eroded over the past half century as a direct result of adult’s ‘freedom’ to drive.

Watch PJA’s Adrian Lord and Metis Consultants’ Lucy Marstrand-Taussig discuss ways to deliver walking and cycling infrastructure that is suitable for all in line with LTN 1/20 at Cycle Active City Conference 2021.
