E-scooters/nuisance vehicles.

Issued 03 February 2026

Community officers continue to tackle nuisance‑related antisocial behaviour by focusing patrols in areas where issues happen most often. Officers are also building early links with local schools and working closely with partner organisations to help prevent problems from escalating.

Officers from both the Beat Team and the Child‑Centred Policing Team have recently spoken with individuals involved in antisocial behaviour and have taken appropriate action.

Privately owned e‑scooters are illegal to use on roads and in public places, including parks, pavements and shopping centres. We encourage members of the public to report any illegal use so officers can take action where needed.
