Legalise General Ownership & Use Of Electric Scooters For Blue Badge Holders
Not all disabled people need wheelchairs as they have some mobility but not full. The use of hired electric scooters to reduce congestion should be extended to full use for these people on a daily basis
The cost of approx £5 taxis for 1/4 mile journeys for mobility limited people is extortionate & limiting. Even corner shop to home in some circumstances. Widening the non restricted use for disabled people would give more & equal freedom,a better quality of life & ability, reduce pollution of short journeys, reduce congestion.
This is more essential to younger, standing disabilities peoples discouraged by wheelchair or mobility carriage stigma or discrimination

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Disabled people are not excluded from owning or using electric scooters, so we're not exactly sure what you'd like to change about the law.
