Neighbourhood Alert - E-Scooters information:

We know some people will be asking Santa for e-scooters this Christmas, and they might seem tempting in the January sales, but please consider this:

🛴They can only be used on private land,
🛴They are illegal on any public highway, pavement or in a public space, 
🛴You cannot get insurance to ride these on the road.

So, privately owned e-scooters can only be used on private land, with the permission of the landowner.

Some parts of the UK are running government trials of rental e-scooters, but Lincoln is not part of this trial.
