Submission Documents: By Councillor Robert Mooney:- "Council re-affirms its commitment to economic development and welcomes the regeneration projects across Glasgow through the City Deal, and other projects. Council also recognises the rights of all Glaswegians to be able to walk in safety and confidence, and is concerned that the introduction of shared space schemes can inadvertently lead to many blind and partially sighted people, and other street users, losing their rights to walk and travel in safety and confidence. Without a safe walking area and a safe place to cross, shared space areas cannot be used safely by blind or partially sighted people as eye contact is impossible. Walking and moving around in such environments for deaf blind people is even more difficult. Council resolves to ensure that economic development which leads to improvements in our street architecture are consistent with the needs of all street users, and do not become an additional barrier for disabled people."
