A NEW smartphone app and website has been launched which aims to help people with mobility impairments get around.
And now the team behind Access Advisr is looking for people to test the system.
The service has been developed to make difficult journeys easier by providing information on the accessibility of travel facilities.
The software also allows people to share comments, photos and ratings on how easy-to-access different places are.
Access Advisr wants people from Nottingham who experience mobility difficulties when travelling to help with their user testing activities.
The team would like to hear from people who have tried using the website – www.accessadvisr.net – or the iPhone and Android smartphone apps in order to understand how well the tools work, and how they can be improved to better meet the needs of local people.
Nottingham City Council's Portfolio Holder for Planning and Transport, Councillor Jane Urquhart, said: "We are pleased to be working with Access Advisr Ltd to improve information about access to key destinations across Nottingham for people with mobility issues.
"The tools complement existing services provided by the Council and we hope will make it easier for residents and visitors to the city to move around."
Anyone interested in getting more involved in the Access Advisr project is asked to contact Ciaran Meyers by calling 0115 988 6903 or e-mailing meyers@accessadvisr.net.
