Bath Racecourse
Lansdown, Bath, Somerset

Client:
Northern Racing Limited
Consultant:
Watts
Service:
Environmental Audit  

Watts was appointed to advise on accessibility issues at Bath Racecourse, in light of the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 and the extra requirements coming into effect in October 2004.  Watts considered the services provided by the client at the racecourse and site itself. As such, a detailed review of the racecourse as a whole was provided.

The racecourse has been altered and extended on a phased basis over several decades. Watts reviewed the site as a whole in terms of accessibility and provided advice at a strategic level.

The racecourse contains many buildings, including bars, restaurants, grandstands, hospitality boxes, administration offices and car parks. The site has been altered and extended during recent years, affecting overall access provisions.
