Ban electric scooters from our pavements
To make pavements and pedestrian walkways safe again for all; to protect our elderly and more vulnerable members of society. Although there are laws around the use of E-scooters, they are being driven on pavements illegally by many teenagers who show little consideration for pedestrians.
To police our pavements where possible to discourage and educate electric scooter users and to enforce the law. To enforce electric scooter users to wear crash helmets on our roads.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
As riding an electric scooter on a pavement is already illegal, it is unclear what further action or actions you would like the Government to take.
