The E-scooter trial in Salford has been extended until November 2022 after a successful start with 180,000 trips made so far.
The trial, which began in September 2020, has seen scooters provided by Lime travel more than 325,000 km across Salford. Despite initial concerns raised by councillors, a report suggested that there have only been a small number of incidents of anti-social behaviour and vandalism.
“I am pleased to see there are very few incidents of vandalism despite my concerns. It is beyond me how this is the case when you see how they fly past you on the roads,” Cllr Bill Hinds said at the Property and Regeneration Briefing.
