Ministers have pledged to work with the construction industry to make public spaces and buildings more inclusive.

Following the of the Olympic and Paralympic Park - which set new standards in accessible design – the Government has set out an action plan to ensure equal access to buildings, streets and public spaces.

Minister for communities, Stephen Williams, said: ‘The action plan we have seen today is a great start in making a more inclusive built environment a reality.

‘The British construction industry is full of highly skilled professionals who rightly have a world class reputation – we want to keep them leading the way in building the most accessible and inclusive country in the world.’
