What we want for the Tweed

Accessibility icon.

We want to make the Tweed more accessible.
A group of people travelling through a city together. Some of them have disability.

When the community is accessible, it is easy to:

  • find and use things
  • travel around.

We also want to make the Tweed more inclusive.
A group of people in a park together.

When the community is inclusive, everyone:

  • can take part
  • feels like they belong.

We want the Tweed to be a place where everyone can:
A person shaking hands with another person.
  • feel included
A group of people having a conversation with each other in the park.
  • connect with each other

  • find and use the services they need.

We explain how you can contact us in the Contact us section.
