Bury Council has launched a survey to understand what help and support adults who have sight loss, hearing loss or loss of both senses, use to help with day-to-day living and what could help but is not available.
A private hire “taxi” driver who refused to take a fare from a blind passenger with an assistance dog is facing a bill of more than £500.
Information and advice on issues related to hearing loss and sight loss are being offered at a free afternoon session in Bury town centre on Monday 3 July.
More than £1,000 was raised at the annual Craft and Gift Show for Bury Society for Blind and Partially Sighted People.
The Mayor of Bury hosted a reception for two voluntary groups who have recently received the prestigious Queens Award for Voluntary Service.
