Newport e-scooter restrictions consultation after seizures
People are to be given a say on restrictions about using e-scooters in one city centre.
Three have been seized in Newport in recent weeks, according to Sgt Chris Butt from Gwent Police.
The bikes, which can be used on private land in Wales, are being trialled in public areas in England with speeds restricted up to 15.5mph (24.9km/h).
One Newport councillor said some could go much faster, while motorists faced 20mph zones in some areas.
The authority's overview and scrutiny committee agreed to ask the public their views on the use of e-scooters as part of a consultation on a new Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) to prevent anti-social behaviour.
