About Belfast Lanyon Place and Sync Living
Andrew Smyth, Sync Living Changing Places Specialist, is satisfied with the results of the Changing Places at the Belfast Lanyon Place
Andrew commented on the Changing Places at the Lanyon Place Railway Station that:
As the main provider of public transport in Northern Ireland Translink should be congratulated in committing to ensuring their co-ordinated bus and rail services are accessible to all.
Lanyon Place is one of 4 stations serving Belfast City Centre and is the first in the city to include a Changing Places facility. This investment by Translink not only in Belfast but also in other hubs throughout NI sets the company apart in spear heading inclusion for individuals with more complex care needs and their carers.
It was a pleasure working with Translink and also the Main and M&E Contractors to secure the correct specification of key products required to meet the Changing Places / BS8300:2018 standard were installed at Lanyon Place.
If you would like to know more about how to make your building accessible for people with physical or mental impairment and their carers, feel free to get in touch with Andrew at andrew@syncliving.co.uk.
