FOI 166871

FREEDOM OF INFORMATION REQUEST REFERENCE NO: 166871

I write in connection with your request for information which was received on 19^th April 2022. Please find below the response to your request:

Please could you provide figures for:

1) The number of e-scooters confiscated by your force from 1/1/22 until 31/3/22, and for the same period in 2021.  

2) The number of accidents logged by your force in these time periods which involved the word 'e scooter'.

3) The number of fatalities logged by your force due to collisions involving e scooters in these time periods.

If you are able to provide details on the above, such as reasons for confiscation and any other information about any accidents logged, that would be much appreciated too - but understand this might make the process too lengthy/costly so no worries if not.
