Image taken 4.10.21] This is the extent of the dropped kerb – 67cm. There’s very little turning space and then the width of the gap between the railings and the wall is max 97cm. Nothing at this critical crossing/access point meets even minimum standards. The accessible Scarborough Bridge opened in April 2019. The routes around it have still to catch up in accessibility but also in size to accommodate the uptick in people moving around and the increase in the width of the machines in which they are doing it: for example in 'York'cycles (see: #168885). Other images here: #174587 and links.
