Electric bikes and scooters ridden or parked on pavements are causing fear and anxiety for blind and partially sighted people, according to a new report.

The growing use of micromobility transport options is making streets a “nightmare” with only one in 10 (9%) blind people confident walking in their own neighbourhood, charity the Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) said.
