Shadow Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, Wes Streeting Goes on an RNIB Guided Walk…
Season 2, Episode 366, Feb 26, 09:00 AM
One way to make local Councillors and even MP’s more aware of how bad street design and cluttered pavements can be a real challenge and even dangerous for blind and partially sighted people is to invite them to go on a guided walk.
On Friday 9 February such a guided walk took place in Wellingborough and the Shadow Secretary of State for Health and Social Care Wes Streeting joined the walk, along with Eleanor Thompson RNIB’s Interim Director of Campaigns and Senior Regional Campaigns Manager Maqsood Sheikh.
RNIB Connect Radio’s Toby Davey caught up with Eleanor and Maqsood to find out how the walk went with Wes Streeting, Shadow Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how he found the walk and what might he be taking back to Parliament after his walk and chat with Eleanor, Maqsood and other RNIB staff who were there for the walk too.
