In Touch

The Government is consulting on the use of e-scooters as part of a wider look at urban transport. They could cut carbon, and improve mobility, but are blind people being heard?

As the government consults on the use of e-scooters on roads, Christiane M枚ller of the German Federation of the Blind and Partially Sighted (DBSV) tells us about the impact the vehicles have had on blind people in her country. And Adam Solan, a teenager who has already struggled with abandoned bikes for hire in Oxford, gives us his perspective.

And Valentine's Day is nearly here. But what are the challenges of being a blind bride? Sassy Wyatt is a blogger and she's agreed to keep us about how she is preparing for the big day...

It won't be long until we know exactly who will represent Great Britain in the Paralympics. And we're taking a closer look at some of the runners and riders. But Nicola Naylor won't be travelling at speed. She talks to Fern Lulham about the exacting skill of dressage.
