Description

Fern Lulham sits in for Peter White.

Wheelie bins pose yet another potential obstacle for blind and visually impaired people when navigating pavements. North West Leicester City Council will potentially be able to impose fines to people who leave their wheelie bin on the pavement after bin day. Residents could be liable if there is an accident due to the obstruction. They have recently launched a consultation exercise, that will ask local residents about their thoughts on how to pave their way to a solution.
We speak with North West Leicester City Council's head of community services, Paul Sanders on this.

Becoming a parent can be both a scary and incredibly exciting experience - especially if you are blind or have a visual impairment. We hear the experiences of some new parents, from when they were expecting to what it is like now they have their little bundles of joy.

Are you thinking of having children? We offer some advice from Kate Crofts from Blind Parents UK.
