Guide Dogs Week
Guide Dogs were out in number this morning in Abingdon Town Centre, despite the rain. The one on the left was injured a couple of days ago by a bicycle on a shared walkway. Such accidents are becoming more common, and the owners wanted people to be aware that cycles are not always heard until it is too late.

Also there is a campaign to get talking buses, ones that announce the stops, so that visually impaired people don’t miss their stop.
