Coun. Martyn Hurt is campaigning to make Burnley easier and safer for those with mobility or visual impairments.

Talking Newspaper and Guide Dogs say the pedestrianised area of St James's Street, for example, is difficult for people who are blind to navigate because it does not have a physical kerb. Guide dogs find it difficult to tell where the street leads into traffic.
