A hit-and-run incident involving a car damaged by an illegal e-scooter in Gloucester has reignited demands for stricter action against unlawful scooter use. Recent efforts by city authorities led to the confiscation of 33 illegal e-scooters in the city centre, highlighting the growing problem.
Civic leaders are now calling for the enforcement measures to be extended beyond the city centre to cover other neighbourhoods in Gloucester. They emphasize the need to ensure public safety and reduce damage caused by unregulated e-scooters on roads and pavements.
The crackdown aims to curb reckless scooter use, which poses risks not only to motorists but also to pedestrians. Authorities continue to encourage residents to report illegal vehicles and support ongoing efforts to maintain safe streets throughout Gloucester.
