The gate in Midland Road which was ideal for those with restricted mobility not in wheelchair or with carer has been taken away .Because of one way system very difficult to approach [ back of Camden Town] If you are not from Camden Town you could have problems.Research carefully as I now need to take my scooter from WAV van.
