North Devon College student calls for disability awareness

North Devon College student and disability campaigner, Ella Wakely, has travelled to London to discuss being able to use her electric scooter as a mobility aid.

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.

Ms Wakely has a rare form of dwarfism which affects her mobility.

The Department for Transport said the government was “fully committed’ to transport access for the disabled.
