Cllr Jenny Nedwell from Overton has arranged for a team from Guide Dogs to do an information session and guided walk around Accrington for Council officers and elected members who are interested in experiencing, for a short time, what it is like to have some form of visual difficulty.
Cllr Nedwell is registered blind and speaks openly of her disability to put others at ease. She hopes that by demonstrating guide dogs and mobility aids to others it will create a simulation experience of the difficulties people have getting around on a day to day basis.
