Dangerous Crossings

On 19th September 2007 at midday, our group and the NCoDP had a 15 minutes demonstration outside the Marina Centre on Marine Parade, the new look Golden Mile seafront development. A group of blind and partially sighted people, some with their guide dogs, carrying banners were walking back and forth across the road, stopping the traffic in both directions, highlighting how dangerous the new style shared surface crossing type is.

The picture shows a very windy but dry day with Robin and Bertie his guide dog, crossing the road with fellow VIPs holding banners
