| Finding us: |
Location: |
|
Access SUMMIT is located in St Peters House which is part of The Precinct Centre - on the right hand side of Oxford Road when heading towards The City Centre (same side as Aquatics Centre, across the road from The Phoenix Pub, Spar and Blackwells Bookshop), close to the junction of Oxford Road and Booth Street East. Enter St Peters House by the main entrance (up the red-brick steps) and then descend to the lower ground floor using the internal stairs or use our street-level entrance to the left of the steps. Parking is quite tricky but spaces are usually available in The NCP Aquatics Car Park behind us. If you are a Blue Badge Holder we can arrange access to spaces close to The Centre reserved for badge-holders but please contact us in advance to make arrangements. |
 |
We are open - normally Monday to Thursday 9.30 am to 5.00 pm and Friday 9.30 am to 4.00 pm except Bank Holidays.
Occasionally, circumstances force us to close during these times but messages can be left at The St Peters House Lodge, on our Answer Machine - 0161 275 0990, by SMS to 07795 826 942 or by emailing - info@access-summit.org.uk.
