Jaspal Dhariwal, on College Avenue, has put an e-petition on the government website, urging the Department of Transport to consider “revoking” its support for the e-scooter scheme across the country. The government granted approval to multiple towns and cities, including Slough, to take part in a year-long e-scooter rental scheme, which started last October, in a bid to promote and encourage greener travel. While it is illegal to ride a privately owned e-scooter, it is legal to rent an e-scooter from a local authority as long as the rider is 18 and over, has a provisional or full driver’s license, and rides it in the permitted areas and only on the roads.
