I was delighted to have visited the Guide Dogs 
stand at Party Conference and lend my support to their Scoot Aware campaign 
.
YouGov polling shows that 92% of people who had seen an e-scooter in the past 6 months, had seen one driven on the pavement. E-scooters driven unsafely on the pavement cause problems for many pedestrians, but people with sight loss who cannot see an e-scooter approach are particularly at risk.
I have previously written to the Parliamentary Under Secretary of State in the Department for Transport on this issue and I will continue to raise this important matter with Ministers.
