Newcastle e-scooter trial extended as bosses confirm Neuron vehicles to stay until November

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.
