Ten e-scooters were confiscated by police in Dartford after being ridden illegally in the town centre. The confiscations took place during a public outreach event held on May 29 and 31, where officers and Dartford Council representatives provided information about the updated Public Space Protection Order (PSPO) in the city.
The PSPO, which has been in place since 2017 to combat anti-social behaviour, was amended in February to include restrictions on riding e-scooters in the main pedestrian area of the town centre. This order can be enforced by both council staff and Kent Police" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-wpil-monitor-id="24684">Kent Police officers.
