What we saw

A section of pavement in central Funchal is too narrow for wheelchair users and people with reduced mobility to pass safely. Street furniture and uneven paving further restrict the available space, forcing pedestrians to move onto the road to continue their journey.

This creates a safety risk and limits independent mobility. The pavement should be widened where possible, obstacles repositioned, and the surface improved to ensure a continuous, accessible pedestrian route.
