Stockton-on-Tees Street Charter

As part of the Royal National Institute of Blind People's 'Who put that there' campaign, Local Authorities were asked to develop a street charter to address inaccessibility in the built environment.

Our charter was developed in partnership with representatives from the Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) including their local volunteer campaigner and Guide Dogs for the Blind.

It aims to address the 6 most common obstacles facing blind and partially sighted people:

  • parking on pavements
  • a-boards
  • inaccessible crossings
  • bins and recycling boxes on pavements
  • street furniture
  • developments that include shared space

More information on RNIB's 'Who put that there!' campaign can be found on the RNIB website.

Our 'street charter' sets out a list of actions and commitments, which everyone involved agrees to abide by. These have been formed under different headings, which represent the main issues that pedestrians, particularly those that are blind or partially sighted people face when negotiating the built environment in Stockton-on-Tees.

This Charter was signed by Signed by Councillor Nigel Cooke (Cabinet Member for Regeneration and Transport), Councillor Bob Cook (Leader of the Council) and Councillor Jim Beall (Deputy Leader of the Council) on 19 May 2016.
