Why did the Assembly
Member cross the road...?
London Assembly members from the Transport Committee crossed
Oxford Circus, one of the capital’s busiest and most notorious streets,
in an effort to experience first-hand the dangers pedestrians face daily.
The members wore ‘simulation spectacles’ from the Royal National
Institute of Blind People (RNIB), to gain an insight into negotiating the
crossings with little or no sight.
…to get to the other side – alive!
At Oxford Circus intersection wearing ‘simulation spectacles’ is (from left to
right) Chair of the London Assembly Transport Committee, Valerie
Shawcross AM, RNIB representative, Richard Holmes, London Assembly
Transport Committee Member, Murad Qureshi AM and Living Streets
Representative, Tom Platt.
Chair of the London Assembly Transport Committee, Valerie Shawcross AM is
about to be interviewed by BBC London and wears simulation spectacles to
understand the difficulties vulnerable Londoner’s experience when crossing
London’s busy roads.
