Has an Equality Analysis been carried out and if so the result of this Assessment?: The landscape improvements at Ford Square and Cavell Street Gardens will not cause any negative equality implications for any sections of the community. The improvement to the squares will benefit the whole community by increasing access to good quality public spaces and good quality play facilities that are accessible and fit for purpose. The two squares have been designed to be step free and as accessible as possible. An equalities assessment is therefore not required.
