Bradley has written to the Transport Secretary to express his "deep concern regarding the lack of regulations governing e-scooters."
In his letter to Heidi Alexander, the local MP said that the regulatory gap has created an environment where e-scooter users can engage in reckless and antisocial behaviour with little to no legal accountability.
Bradley has asked the Transport Secretary to ensure e-scooters remain prohibited on public land and that they should carry a unique identifier equivalent to a licence plate. He's also asking the Government to a introduce a robust system of registration, both at the point of purchase and at resale, requiring owners to provide their full name, home address, storage address (if different), date of birth, an official identifier such as a driving licence or passport number and the scooter’s unique identification number.
Bradley said:
"Only with such measures in place can we restore accountability, improve public safety and provide the police with the tools they need to protect our communities."
Bradley has also questioned the Minister for Local Transport on the Government's policy on e-scooters.
