St. Alkmund’s Church is an Anglican church in the Diocese of Derby occupying a prominent site on Kedleston Road.
Morrison Design Ltd worked with the church to design a new ramped access to provide safe wheelchair access to the church whilst making the approach more open and inviting.
The existing ramp and surrounding walls were demolished and a new compliant concrete ramp and retaining wall was constructed, incorporating new handrails on both sides of the walkway.
The approach to the main entrance steps and the area in front of the main entrance door were also repaved to provide smooth entry for wheelchair users and protect against any trip hazards.
“It’s always a pleasure to work on a project in our local community. The church is now able to attract more visitors, particularly those who may struggle with stepped access such as the disabled, the elderly and wheelchair users.”
David Gardner, Director at Morrison Design
