Help Stop Irresponsible E-Scooter and E-Cycle Riding
Members have long raised issues of anti-social and reckless riding around Christchurch by user of 'powered transporters': e-scooters, e-bicycles and e-motorcycles; as well as some traditional bicycles.
Particular concern was that of speed and riding on pedestrian areas, which can be a lethal combination. Riders of both legal and illegal vehicles behaving with little regard for others, especially around areas like the Fountain Roundabout subway, which is showing no sign of abating; it's important to try and stop this behaviour for everyone's sake before someone is injured or worse.
