Would You Like To See E-Scooters Made Legal In England?

[Hereford Voice]

Hereford Voice were the first local Social Media platform in Hereford to start the debate on e-scooters, here is one of our original topics here 👉https://bit.ly/hfde-scooter.

We also broke the news in March 2021 that Herefordshire Council were unsuccessful in their first bid for e-scooter trials however, all is not lost because the council have been advised that they are still being considered for any expansion of the trials, an option that could be with Beryl, who are already trailing e-scooters in various cites across England.

E-scooters are popular all over the World and if used properly could be another option to help reduce congestion...

Yes, but this Council are so behind the times it will be years and a change in Councillors to make a trial happen .

Change in some councillors coming very soon I think. Repairs to roads to make scooters safe to use will take some while longer.

[megilleland]

How are you to carry your shopping on these scooters? For elderley people trikes would a safer option.

[ragwert]

Other Cities have realised this is another great way of reducing the need for people to use a car etc.
 We need competent Councilors with much better foresight and vision for our City,something lacking with most of them.
