Members of the Community have expressed concerns about the increase in the use of illegal e-scooters in public, particularly in the area of Abbey Rise and Mowmacre areas.

This has been reported by residents through Community Beat Surgeries and Neighbourhood Link.

As a repeat priority, we continue to have increased patrols in these areas, targeting such vehicles and provided advice to users of e-scooters. Persons riding an e-scooter will be investigated in the same way it would if you were riding a motorcycle or driving a car. So far, several e-scooters have been seized due to riders not heading the initial warnings. We continue to monitor and patrol the areas.

We have completed dedicated patrols on the Ward and have given words of advice to 28 persons and seized 4 E-scooters. Recent policy change has commenced to reflect this.
