Council trial to fine drivers who park on Swindon pavements

The Guide Dogs charity has warned blind pedestrians “take their lives into their own hands” every time a blocked footpath forces them to walk in the road.

Alan Fletcher, from Stratton, who has been registered blind since 2005, said the problem was particularly bad in his neighbourhood.

“Being blind, I have walked into cars and fallen off pavements, and if I have to go around a car, it means walking on the road and that makes it dangerous for me.

“I think it (the trial) is a really good start and we need to get it out in Swindon as quickly as we can,” he told BBC Wiltshire.
