Councillor Hanna Matin, a guide dog user, highlights daily challenges faced by people with guide dogs. Despite the Equality Act of 2010, shes been denied entry to businesses multiple times. Matin, elected to Brent Council in 2022, is now working with Guide Dogs UK and the council to tackle these refusals through a new program. The initiative flags reports of denials to the councils licensing team, reminding businesses of their legal obligations. This step aims to improve compliance and ensure guide dog users have equal access without added stress.
