Blind Woman Wins Landmark Ruling On Shared Spaces

A blind woman has won a landmark legal challenge over the height of kerbs in a multi-million pound regeneration scheme in Lisburn, Northern Ireland. Joanna Toner secured a ruling that the council overseeing the city centre project breached its legal duty to ensure equality for disabled people. She said the lower kerbs were "dangerous" as she could not tell where the pavement ended and the road began. #RNIBConnect #TheWeeklyConnect
