PACTS has written to transport minister Rachel Maclean MP, expressing our concerns about the increasing illegal and dangerous use of privately-owned e-scooters and called on the government to restrict sales. We publish our letter and her reply here:

We are also surprised and concerned that e-scooter casualties are not recorded in government road casualty statistics – according to the minister’s reply to a Parliamentary Question from PACTS Chair Barry Sheerman MP.
