Controversial e-scooters will be staying in Newcastle until November, after a year-long trial was extended.
The orange Neuron scooters arrived in the city last February and have carried riders more than 500,000 miles so far.
An initial 12-month experiment allowing them to be used in some parts of Newcastle was due to come to an end this Wednesday, February 16, but council bosses have finally confirmed that the trial will be extended for an extra nine months – and will now run until the end of November.
