点评:Went to see a show this evening, the show was great, no complaints there, very entertaining but there are a couple of real issues I believe are necessary to highlight.
1. The theatre can be accessed via the leisure centre entrance , upon entering, we usually make our way to the lift which is situated in the gym area of the leisure centre. We were informed the lift was out of action, (apparently it has been for a while). We were advised that we could go up the stairs or enter the theatre foyer level by going back outside the theatre and utilising the ramp. We could also request someone from the theatre staff team to come and assist, presumably via wheelchair, to enable access. None of these ‘solutions’ are really dignified or disabled friendly (in as much as a lift is) for those with mobility or heart conditions, it puts extra strain on them, reducing the enjoyable experience of the evening at the theatre !
2. The access road along London Road where the few disabled parking places are located has NO operational street lights. So when we left the theatre I felt many of the older visitors were put in a vulnerable position.
I will update my review as and when things change.
翻译:今晚去看了一场演出,演出很棒,没什么可抱怨的,非常精彩,但我认为有几个问题需要强调。
1. 剧院可以通过休闲中心的入口进入,进入后,我们通常会去位于休闲中心健身房区域的电梯。我们被告知电梯坏了(显然已经坏了一段时间了)。他们建议我们可以走楼梯,或者回到剧院外面,利用坡道进入剧院大厅。我们也可以请求剧院工作人员过来协助,大概是用轮椅,以便进入。对于行动不便或有心脏疾病的人来说,这些“解决方案”都不是真正有尊严或对残疾人友好的(尽管电梯是友好的),反而会给他们带来额外的压力,降低他们在剧院度过美好夜晚的体验!
2. 伦敦路沿线的通道,那里有为数不多的残疾人停车位,但却没有路灯。所以当我们离开剧院时,我感觉很多年长的观众都处于一种弱势地位。
一旦情况有变,我会更新我的评论。
