Hereford Voice Posted January 28, 2023 Report Share Posted January 28, 2023 Hereford Voice were the first local Social Media platform in Hereford to start the debate on e-scooters, here is one of our original topics here 👉https://bit.ly/hfde-scooter. We also broke the news in March 2021 that Herefordshire Council were unsuccessful in their first bid for e-scooter trials however, all is not lost because the council have been advised that they are still being considered for any expansion of the trials, an option that could be with Beryl, who are already trailing e-scooters in various cites across England. E-scooters are popular all over the World and if used properly could be another option to help reduce congestion... Did you realise that there are actually over 50 cities in England currently trailing the use of e-scooters? see the current list of cities below; 1 Middlesbrough 2 Milton Keynes 3 Hartlepool 4 Redcar 5 Northampton 6 Birmingham 7 Coventry 8 Stafford 9 Newcastle-under-Lyme 10 Norwich 11 Cheltenham 12 Redditch 13 Liverpool 14 Gloucester 15 Cambridge 16 Slough 17 York 18 Yeovil 19 Salford 20 Nottingham 21 Bath 22 Bristol 23 Taunton 24 Aylesbury 25 High Wycombe 26 Derby 27 Isle of Wight 28 Basildon Spin 29 West Bromwich 30 Kettering 31 University of Warwick 32 Chester 33 Scunthorpe 34 Bristol and Bath 35 Chelmsford 36 Colchester 37 Newcastle 38 Oxford 39 Corby 40 Wellingborough 41 Rushden & Higham Ferrers 42 Clacton 43 Portsmouth 44 Southampton 45 Crewkerne 46 Chard 47 Canterbury 48 Brentwood 49 Whitehaven 50 Braintree 51 Great Yarmouth 52 Sunderland 53 Rochdale 54 Barnstaple Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragwert Posted February 3, 2023 Report Share Posted February 3, 2023 Yes, but this Council are so behind the times it will be years and a change in Councillors to make a trial happen . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twowheelsgood Posted February 3, 2023 Report Share Posted February 3, 2023 Change in some councillors coming very soon I think. Repairs to roads to make scooters safe to use will take some while longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megilleland Posted February 3, 2023 Report Share Posted February 3, 2023 How are you to carry your shopping on these scooters? For elderley people trikes would a safer option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragwert Posted February 16, 2023 Report Share Posted February 16, 2023 Other Cities have realised this is another great way of reducing the need for people to use a car etc. We need competent Councilors with much better foresight and vision for our City,something lacking with most of them.
