Fast-moving, often silent, e-scooters are becoming ever more common, and we’ve been hearing from blind and partially sighted people whose journeys are being affected.

This year is crucial. E-scooter trials are happening in some areas and the results will decide whether e-scooters are rolled out more widely. It’s essential we make the most of this chance to let politicians know if e-scooters are affecting you, and what they can do to help.

Our Allan Russel spoke with RNIB's Policy and Campaigns Officer Zoe Courtney to find out about their online tool where you can easily share your experiences with your local councillors or your MP.

If you don’t want to write directly to your politician but would like to tell RNIB instead, email campaigns@rnib.org.uk with details of your experience with e-scooters and where it happened.
