Introducing the Hebden Bridge step-free access map

Accessible Calderdale is delighted to share the newly revised Hebden Bridge step-free access map and guide, 2025 revision. Produced by Hebden Bridge Disability Access Forum (HBDAF), this resource highlights town-centre premises with step-free entrances, hearing loops and accessible toilets. Now available in multiple formats, it supports residents and visitors of all abilities to explore Hebden Bridge with confidence.

Overview of the map

The Hebden Bridge step-free access map clearly marks every business and public space that offers step-free access. Alongside this, the back-page guide lists:

• Premises with level or ramped entry

• Locations fitted with hearing loops

• Accessible toilet facilities

Both the map and guide are printable. A combined PDF and a Word version optimised for screen readers ensure everyone can benefit. As June Eaton of HBDAF explains, “If you need the map and guide in different formats, like jpg or large print, please ask.”

Inclusive formats and additional support

HBDAF has made the Hebden Bridge step-free access map accessible to all:

• Screen-reader friendly Word file

• Printable PDFs

• High-resolution JPGs and large-print versions upon request

Moreover, you can scan the QR code for current grants from the Community Foundation for Calderdale to support further accessibility projects. “Scan the QR Code for our current grants,” notes Rob Billson, Grants Manager at CFFC.

Why step-free access matters

Step-free access transforms urban spaces into inclusive environments. Consequently, people using wheelchairs, mobility aids or parents with pushchairs can navigate town centres independently. Moreover, hearing loops and accessible toilets improve experiences for those with sensory or personal care needs. For more information information on making your venue more accessible conatct us
