Motion on behalf of the Conservative Group
This Council opposes the use of E-Scooters and motorised scooters on our borough's roads, pavements and parks; and calls upon the current administration to enforce illegal usage and issue fixed penalty notices, following recent successes of other London boroughs.
Amendment on behalf of the Havering Residents Association Group
Council notes that under the current law, it is illegal to ride an E-scooter and motorised scooter on public land, unless the E-Scooter is part of an authorised trial. There is no such trial approved in Havering, so this Council supports the Police who are the only authority able to enforce the law.
