E-scooters are turning pavements into a ‘jungle’ and urgent action is needed before more lives are lost, a Tory peer said yesterday.

Their widespread use generates fear, Baroness Neville-Rolfe told a House of Lords debate.

Lady Neville-Rolfe, who has previously described motorised scooters as fuelling ‘a Wild West of lawlessness’, said they should either be banned or strictly regulated.

She added: ‘It’s a pity that these problems have been allowed to develop without the Government making any attempt to set limits and boundaries. The pavements have become a jungle, and this has become an urgent matter.’
