Nominations are being taken for the mayor's Access Awards which recognise local buildings that provide excellent facilities for disabled people.

The awards are given to both new and existing buildings where disabled access was improved over the past 12 months.

The awards scheme, now in its ninth year, has previously rewarded a variety of buildings including shops, pubs, restaurants, churches, offices, a theatre and bowling green.

Improvements have included ramps, toilets, automatic doors, signage and induction loops.

Nominations should be sent to the Borough Planner, the Town Hall, Wandsworth High Street, SW18 2PU, or by e-mail to boroughplanner@wands-worth.gov.uk by February 11.

Call Gillian Britton on 020 8871 6648 for more details.
