Guide Dogs' call for a national law to tackle dangerous pavement parking is being backed by UK councillors.

Research reveals almost 90% of guide dog owners refused access to hospitality venues, taxis, and shops, and other services. Guide Dogs warns that these discriminatory access refusals could impact festive outings for guide dog owners this year.

Yesterday it was revealed that plans to close hundreds of train ticket offices in England have been reversed.
