E-scooters

Coventry City Council has raised safety concerns amid reports they were being used in pedestrianised areas - against guidelines.

Some residents also complained about them being discarded across the city and people going the wrong way.

All of this, of course, is entirely surprising and could not possibly have been predicted.

I've not been to Coventry for a good few years but I seem to remember that a large part of the town centre is pedestrianised which I suspect is maybe where the issues have arisen.
