Transport for London Street Management is asking Croydon's shopkeepers and other businesses to support a new campaign to clear unauthorised obstructions from the footway to ensure a safe path for those with sight or mobility difficulties, who are frail, and for parents with toddlers or babies in prams.
The campaign aims to rid busy streets of unauthorised obstructions such as unlicensed articles for sale or display.
Joe Korner, communications manager, Royal National Institute for the Blind said: "Obstacles on the pavement are a real danger to anyone with a sight problem. We welcome moves by Transport for London to make the street environment safer for people with sight problems."
