Hello, my name is Ron Com and I'm a CEO associate. I like to raise an issue with you today which is about queuing in buildings and public spaces and how that might impact on disabled people and vulnerable people who need access to facilities. Designers may draw plans for their design of a building or parts of a building, but few of them will consider queuing for, say, access to an all gender loo or another facility and what the impact has on the space and the maneuvering space around those areas of queuing. There is a lot of research done on queuing for services and people. But none of it I don't think covers the impact on disabled and vulnerable people respect of inclusive design, and that's something I wanted to look at. Here's an example of situation I found recently. You can see that the wheelchair user or anyone who needs access to the wheelchair accessible toilet will not be able to squeeze past or manoeuvre into that toilet easily and that's due to people queuing into the toilet corridor. And that's quite typical, but I'm fairly certain that designers don't take that into account. That's all for now. Thank you.
