Redoubt accepts loan of stair climer for disabled
Published Date:

THE REDOUBT Fortress is now accessible to wheelchair users, thanks to the long-term loan of a platform stair climber.
Representatives of disabled members of the community — including Ian Westgate, who is chairman of Eastbourne Access Group — gathered at the seafront fortress to thank Southern Mobility for the piece of equipment.
Ian said, "I have long been campaigning for disabled access into the Redoubt to enable veterans and other wheelchair using people to see the Royal Sussex Regimental memorabilia, other exhibitions and generally see how defence of the south coast was planned in the Napoleonic era.
"Southern Mobility came up with an answer by providing a platform stair climber which it has left there on an extended loan basis."
