Before you buy, make sure you know the law.

 

While privately owned e-scooters can be legally purchased, they cannot be ridden on public roads, pavements, cycle lanes, parks or other public places in the UK. Some high-powered or modified e-bikes may also be illegal to use on public highways.

 

Take a few minutes to learn what's legal, what's not, and help keep our communities and your children safe. Enter our competition and test your knowledge before midnight on Sunday 29 November 2026.

Temporary relocation

When a pitch becomes unsuitable, we will relocate consent holders where suitable alternative street trading pitches exist.

We may consult with the highway authority to identify suitable alternative pitches for the purpose of relocating the displaced street trader.
