An alternative to the council's website is FixMyStreet. A website and app. Much easier to use. It also shows all issues reported in the area on a map and their status.

Yes regulate what a legal eScooter is but don't put up barriers to their use. They are not a menace; its irresponsible people who are the menace in or on any form of vehicle. Although some perceive them as dangerous, they are actually relatively safe: futuretransport-news.com/uk-rospa-fin...

I agree that anti-social and inconsiderate riding should not be tolerated but please sort out the law and legalise escooters and end the free for all that we currently have. These vehicles are an incredibly efficient form of transport and very popular. They are not going to go away.

Pashley Cycles in the UK do something very similar, called the ALECS. www.pashley.co.uk/products/alecs I would love to see more delivery cycles but the UK lacks the cycling infrastructure to encourage their use.
