Here’s what blind people told @RNIB when asked about floating bus stops: “I have been knocked down…”; “Floating bus stops are a complete nightmare…”; “I cannot express enough how angry and frustrated I feel about bus stop bypasses…”; “I no longer visit parts of the city…”

Going to pin this. Please be aware that X has been/continues to mess with my account. I know SOME of you can see my posts, but more often than not, I’m told people see nothing from my account. I’m told a brief reply or an RT to my posts will help, but who knows? Merci! 🙏

After yesterday’s 15 hour Berwick shoot with 4x cameras & 8x lenses weighing a small hippo I’m suffering a tad this morning. Burned beetroot, dehydrated, aching all o’er & totally knackered. And so the lengthy drudgery of editing begins. Here’s the RBB at dawn with a 24mm.

.@MayorofLondon this is simply not good enough - excluding blind people through designs that discriminate needs to be halted. @Keir_Starmer this scheme is going ahead with designs that blind people will not be able to use. It needs to be halted and redesigned please. Please help.

The @MayorofLondon is removing a key bus lane in Shoreditch and in the consultation it doesn’t get a mention. What a way to treat London’s most important transport mode and passengers. This is fraudulent.

The @MayorofLondon says that floating bus stops that comply with @TfL guidance are usable by blind people. This despite having warning messages on the bus urging passengers to cross the cycle track with caution! How can blind people be cautious? They can’t see or hear the cycles!

The @MayorofLondon says that those bus stops that comply with @TfL guidance are usable by blind people. This one here in the heart of the City of London does comply, but is clearly unusable for blind people. Retweet to support blind people’s. Access needs:

Morning I am still supporting this campaign & shocked that Government officials have issued permits to British hunters who shot cheetahs allowing them to bring their ‘trophies’ back to the UK. British hunters are being given permission by the government to bring home trophies…

The phone has been so busy today. I took the first call while I was still in bed this morning and it's been pretty steady since then. Two calls were so tragic - people who saw a hedgehog out in the day yesterday, so put him in a box with food and water and kept him, and are only…

If you ask senior officials responsible for floating bus stops if the stop at Westminster Bridge is accessible for blind people they won’t give a straight answer. They certainly haven’t said it is:
