Manadon policing team will conduct high visible patrols in and around the area to ascertain what streets are problematic and robustly deal with illegal e-scooters/bikes. We work closely with other supporting agencies and residents to combat this problem together.
E-scooters/bikes are illegal to use on the road or in public places, such as parks, street pavements, and shopping areas. We are limited on dealing with some of the bike riders when it comes to a chase due to hazard and public safety.
If you use a privately-owned e-scooter/bike in public, you risk the vehicle being seized under S.165 of the Road Traffic Act 1988, for not having any insurance.
Our team will hold regular ‘Chat with Cops’ within your neighbourhood every 4 weeks so please come and voice your concerns.

Update 25/03/26 - There has been a reduction in calls from the public regarding this issue however we ask residents to continue their support as this is of great value to the local policing team.
