Department officials consulted with a wide range of stakeholders, including Guide Dogs, The Royal National Institute of Blind People and Living Streets, to ensure the safety of disabled pedestrians was considered in the review process.</p><p> </p><p>Evidence from that review was provided to the Transport Select Committee as part of their inquiry into pavement parking in summer 2019.
