P-04-438 Shopping Access – Correspondence from the petitioner to the clerking team, 30.05.2013

Hi Kayleigh,

I have come across this article which explains why crossings don't beep and how blind people use a little known about tactile button that tells them when to cross (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-ouch-22706881) It also states that local authorities are not legally obliged to make crossings accessible.

As the committee had asked for information around this at their last meeting I thought it might be of some use to them.
