A resident has been in contact with me regarding A Boards and forwarded me your e mail to him and his response.
I do know that only recently a resident was walking down Infant Street and a car was parked well onto the pavement his guide dog directed him away from the vehicle but unfortunately due to the narrowness of the remaining pavement the dog walked into one of the A Boards. There is a shop on Abbey St close to the top of Oak St that has a least 5 boards on the pavement, some of them very close the the kerb edge.
Whilst I appreciate that to a person with 20/20 vision might not find any problem with the number of A-boards within the borough, they pose a different problem to a guide dog and its owner.
Perhaps someone could walk round some of the places he mentions and see the problem from his point of view
Yours sincerely,
