Car park lining - creating new and/or remarking customer disabled parking bays and allowing parent and child bays to become more prominent in each store.

Ramp installation - the removal of steps to allow better accessin and out of stores.

Handrails - to allow customers better stability.

Drop crossings - removal of kerbs to reduce trip hazards for the elderly especially and the introduction of tactile paving to denote a change in level for blind people.

External lighting - allowing better visability.

Pedestrian crossings - allowing a safer environment to get from parking bays into the store.

Bollard / barrier demarcation - highlighting to easily identify potential obstacles in a persons way.

Signage - improving car park and directional signage especially to disabled and parent and child bays.
