Intrusive parking, hedges, and e-scooters are a common occurrence that many pedestrians encounter as a minor inconvenience.

Featuring interviews with Alison Blackburn, Chair of Newcastle Disability Forum; Councillor Habib Rahman of Elswick Ward; and Councillor Greg Stone of Manor Park Ward who also has a portfolio for the City Centre and was the former spokesperson for transport.
