Pavements blocked by more and more obstructions are becoming a big hazard for blind people and other pedestrians (The Argus, June 2).

These are mostly advertising boards put out by restaurant owners and other traders.

Brighton and Hove City Council is being lobbied by safety groups to take action to solve this problem.

Other hazards include overhanging bushes, branches, canopies, skateboarders and people riding bicycles on the pavement.

Hopefully, the council will be able to do something about this ongoing nuisance making it safer for us all to move around.
