S1 Ep485: Councillor&#39;s Concerns Around Easing Of Restrictions For Visually Impaired People.
</h5>
<div class="text-line-clamp text-line-clamp-3 balanced-p fs-8 text-muted text-break">

RNIB Connect Radio&#39;s Allan Russell spoke to Stonehaven Councillor Dennis Robertson, who is himself blind, to find out if the relaxation of some rules have any hidden, or unintended, barriers for people with sight loss.
