Local authorities have the potential to transform the lives of blind and partially sighted people, even in the toughest times. The decisions local authorities make now are more important than ever as further reductions in support for blind and partially sighted people could tip lives into a spiral ending in isolation, ill health and despondency.
RNIB's Quick wins and missed opportunities report offers practical advice to councillors on how to improve local services for blind and partially sighted people. Designing inclusive and accessible services means also getting it right more widely for local residents.
