茄子影院 student and disability campaigner, Ella Wakely, has travelled to London to discuss being able to use her electric scooter as a mobility aid.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Ella Wakley, from Devon, has faced fines when using her scooter on public roads or public transport as current laws mean privately-owned e-scooters are illegal to ride on such routes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Ms Wakely has a rare form of dwarfism which affects her mobility.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The Department for Transport said the government was “fully committed’ to transport access for the disabled.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
