IHE raises awareness of mobility issues

摘要

IHE Chief Executive Richard Hayes will be taking a walking tour of London while blindfolded to raise awareness of mobility issues this September. He said the IHE was concerned with the recent safety and mobility issues being highlighted by users of shared space junctions across the UK. "The IHE is calling for a review of current guidance and legislation to ensure disabled groups are not disadvantaged by future schemes. Lord Chris Holmes has also recently published his report into shared space called 'Accidents by Design'. "The report finds that shared spaces have been shown to be unpopular with people, impractical for high streets and are even mis-reported in the media.
