SALE MP Mike Kane is planning a blindfold walk in the town centre to highlight the difficulties and dangers faced by people with sight loss.
Mr Kane, who will do the walk with Labour councillors Joanne Bennett and Phillip Gratrix,on Friday, September 12, at 3pm, from the outside of Sale Town Hall.
The trio took up the invitation after local resident and RNIB volunteer campaigner Nick Goodwin asked the politicians to help out.
He said: "I wanted them to help raise awareness of the difficulties people with sight loss face on a day-to-day basis.
"I hope it will also highlight many aspects of daily life that sighted people take for granted. The difficulties are many and include parked cars blocking the way, poor street design and particularly the dangers of cyclists riding on pavements."
