Specially adapted paving has been installed in Longton to help those with visual impairments.
Tactile paving and dropped kerbs have been installed on streets close to bungalows and retirement homes off Shirley Lane.
The improvements are part of the county council’s commitment to build mobility crossings to promote walking and help people to do it safely.

County councillor Rupert Swarbrick, cabinet member for highways and transport, said: “This is something that we have been doing for many years across Lancashire, and I am pleased that our new tactile paving is helping visually impaired people to move around the area. I look forward to seeing how further improvements will help people.”
The second stage of work was completed last year, and work on the third and final phase will start in mid-June.
Denise Wilkinson, chair of the visual impairment forum in Longton, said: “This engagement has been mutually beneficial for both the council and members of the public and the successful results have been created by the invaluable contribution of all involved, proving the value of working together.”
She went on to say: “We are incredibly proud of all the results that have and will improve access for all.”
