00:00Here's today's Derbyshire Times video bulletin.

00:03Derbyshire Police is getting tougher on e-scooters by launching a new seize first approach after it

00:08received hundreds of reports about the vehicles. The force is now seizing e-scooters immediately

00:14off the streets if they are seen in a public place by officers. The new approach from the

00:18force began on November 1st and yesterday, more than a week into the new approach, the force said

00:24that it had already seized 10 vehicles. At the start of 2024 the force sees an average of 13

00:30e-scooters a month. Statistics show that in the last two years 509 calls have been received by

00:36Derbyshire Police relating to anti-social behavior involving e-scooters as well as 441 reports of

00:42them being ridden dangerously. E-scooter safety campaigner Sarah Gaten has welcomed Derbyshire

00:48Police's new stance but has warned the force not to take its foot off the pedal in clamping down

00:53on riders and to publish data regularly to show if the new approach is working or not.

00:58Derbyshire Police says that the collapse of Derby City Council's e-scooter trial scheme at the start

01:03of the year, which made some e-scooters legal to ride, now means that any e-scooter being ridden

01:08in the county on public roads is being done so illegally. Eagle-eyed TV viewers are urged to

01:16keep a close watch for Derbyshire's Haddon Hall in the new Wolf Hall series which launched at the
