Councillor Declan Meenagh said he feels like he is banging his head off a brick wallA blind councillor who relies on public transport has criticised Bus Connects for persisting with bus stop designs that leave the visually-impaired at risk of injury. Labour councillor Declan Meenagh, who cannot drive and has only 5pc vision, has made submissions to Bus Connects on the matter but said he feels "like I'm banging my head off a brick wall". "It's not good for the blind person and it's not good for the cyclist either. A spokeswoman for Bus Connects said the designs are still in draft form and not finalised. "Bus Connects remains open for submissions from members of the public over the next few weeks until December 16," she said.
