<p>I’ve spend 2 months in the past year there and can only report what I see. See the report below from France 24 and the Mayor’s comments</p>

<p>The police are of course free to ignore the concerns of local residents as conveyed to them by the Council. But they should at least be made aware of the serious level of concern and I think it is the duty of Councillors, as our representatives, to engage with the police on this matter.</p>

<p>No debate; no discussion? No partnership? No listening to the judgements of police officers at the local and senior level? <br/><br/>And not even <em>asking</em> their views and experience as the take-up of electric powered bikes and scooters increases? Aren't you curious at the very least to make that your starting point?</p>

<p>I'm acquainted with several councillors, John. But I don't think councillors should be <em><strong>telling</strong></em> the police how to allocate their time and rank priorities. <br/><br/>You are also in the same position as me if you wish to <em><strong>ask</strong></em> the local police their views and actions in respect of electric bikes and scooters. <br/><br/>I'm suggesting we seem to be in a transition phase where technical advance appears to be posing a new set of problems and challenges to how we get safely and peacefully around our towns and cities.<br/><br/>At minimum there's a blurring of the boundaries between pedal-powered bikes and mopeds. Maybe I'm wrong and the change isn't as significant as I think. After all, the little buzzing Italian "Vespa" (named after "wasp") soon became part of the normal hazards of stepping outside your home.<br/><br/>While for good reasons, parents' fears of their child being stabbed in the street currently seem a lot greater. <br/><br/>Even so, I hope that there's some urgent expert research going on which looks at problems posed by powered bikes and scooters. And which comes up with potential solutions before we get a surge in injuries and deaths.<br/><br/> Or a less detectable surge: in the "invisible" consequences of the fears they provoke - many more people staying indoors. Or feeling that they or their children require the safety of a car to go anywhere.</p> I believe you are acquainted…tag:harringayonline.com,2019-09-02:844301:Comment:11906562019-09-02T10:39:29.926ZJohn Dhttps://harringayonline.com/profile/JohnD
<p>I believe you are acquainted with a Councillor Alan. Maybe more than one ?</p>
<p>Please don't say that their remit doesn't include enforcing the Law. They can bring more weight to bear on the police than can the ordinary citizen.</p>
