The pedestrian environment
We attach a high priority to pedestrians with a disability and have recently completed a programme to provide tactile paving and dropped kerbs at all signal-controlled crossings on the local road network in the borough.

Public transport services
We seek to ensure that all forms of public transport are accessible to people with mobility difficulties. The Disability Discrimination Act 1995 places a duty on public transport providers to ensure that all the services they operate are accessible by 2015.
