Shownotes Transcript

Reporter Tom Walker finds out why the closure of the RNIB Centre in Bristol has locals up in arms. Colin Whitbourne, RNIB's Head of Network Operations in the South, tells us the thinking behind the decision.

And the writer Mandy Redvers-Rowe on the very personal story at the heart of her radio drama Blind School, which features a cameo performance by none other than Peter White. The play, co-written with Sarah McDonald-Hughes, will air on Radio 4 on February 5 and tells the story of Nina who struggles in her early days at Charlesworthy School.

Presenter: Peter White Producer: Lee Kumutat Reporter: Tom Walker
