A North Tyneside councillor intends to sell her e-scooter after its road legality has been brought into question.
In a local election campaign leaflet, councillor for Riverside, Wendy Lott is photographed on an electric scooter outside of the Howden Family Hub. The leaflet also goes on to say Coun Lott uses the scooter as part of her ward inspections.
The campaign literature reads: "Just about to set off on another tour of Howdon and East Howdon, inspecting streets, alleys and back lanes on her electric scooter. On this particular trip when she came across a litter-strewn underpass connecting East Howdon and Percy Main which was reported and promptly cleared by the council's estate team."
