POLICE are taking action on electric scooters used in Bracknell town centre.
They said there have been a number of near misses, putting the public at serious risk of being injured and fines will now be issued.
A spokesperson from the Local Neighbourhood Policing Team (NHPT) said: “We have made every effort to engage with those riding them through town, explaining the risks and promoting an education approach over handing out fines.
“However it seems this approach is not having the desired effect as there are still a large number of people committing offences by riding on e-Scooters and pedal cycles through the town centre.”
As of this week, the town centre NHPT will be serving Section 59 warnings to anyone using the scooters in the area.
The spokesperson added: “This area is clearly marked at the entrance and exits to the High Street, Braccan Walk and The Avenue.
“If anyone would like further clarification on this please speak with one of us while safely walking your scooter through the town.”
