Charity wants better training after driver refused to take blind couple and guide dog
26 Jul 2016
A national charity has called for more training for cab drivers after a Leicester taxi driver refused to pick up a blind couple with a guide dog.
The Guide Dogs charity has spoken out after Charles Bloch and partner Jessica Graham were refused a lift on Friday because they had the assistance dog Carlo with them.
Ms Graham, who like Charles was born visually impaired and is registered blind, recorded the encounter and posted it on her Facebook page.
The video has been viewed more than one million times on social media sites.
