Nottingham City Council has been nominated for an Accessible Transport Award due to the work that has been done to improve the accessibility of information at bus stops for blind and partially sighted people.
This successful outcome was the result of a collaboration between a Nottingham VI Focus group, RNIB's regional campaigns officer, Claire Kay (RNIB) and an energetic public transport officer at Nottingham City Council called Laraine Reckless.
Not content to rest on their laurels, Laraine and Claire are now pursuing accessibility improvements to shops and restaurants for visually impaired customers in Nottingham.
