Update: The barricade had gone on 19.6.21. The sign remained. [Image taken 13.6.21] Rougier Street, York. I caught my wheel on the protruding base of this barrier as I passed. It started to fall on me. It’s unstable. If a child knocked it or if someone with limited or no sight caught it with their cane or rollerball it would come down on them and/or others. The street used to be the home of the former York Blind and Partially Sighted Society (Now MySight York www.mysightyork.org and based in another part of the city.) It is likely that some people who visited when it was in this street still use the route they are familiar with. The sign behind is not doing its job either and is a further hazard. Other issues today see: #170128 and links.
