My blocked route to Finsbury Park theatre
Friday, 30th March 2018
• MY mobility is severely impaired. I am unable to travel on the underground but I relied on the tunnel between Seven Sisters Road and Wells Terrace to reach Park Theatre. Park Theatre put on consistently excellent performances and go out of their way to help disabled people enjoy great shows.
Last year, when I visited Park Theatre the Wells Terrace exit was closed. I tried to reach Seven Sisters Road via Stroud Green Road instead, but this way round was too difficult for me and I nearly collapsed in the street. A kind passer-by helped me reach the bus stop. The bus driver was very helpful.
The Wells Terrace exit is still closed. I now follow the street signs to Park Theatre via Fonthill Road instead, but the mud and heavy lorries from the City North N4 building site make this way round difficult for a disabled person.
The Wells Terrace exit has been closed for far too long and needs to be reopened soon. I hope City North N4 will be willing to engage in a positive way by involving disabled people in decisions regarding access between Seven Sisters Road and Wells Terrace.
