Project Summary

Exploring the potential of a community tool to improve the street accessibility of Elgin High Street area with the aim to support collaboration between Moray council and various community groups, particularly those with disabilities.

The Digital Streets project explored the potential of a community tool to improve the street accessibility of Elgin. The tool aims to support collaboration between Moray Council and various community groups, particularly those with disabilities. The initial focus area was around Elgin High Street, with the potential to extend the tool to cover other areas. This concept was jointly proposed by the University of the Highlands and Islands and Moray Council. The design-led approach taken in pre-Lab activities and within two Experience Labs provided the opportunity to explore the potential of a digital or physical community tool and aimed to deliver a set of requirements that were firmly user driven.
