To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps she is taking to help tackle the (a) anti-social behaviour and (b) dangers associated with the use of electric (i) scooters and (ii) bikes in (A) Blackburn and (B) Lancashire.

Asked by:
Mr Adnan Hussain (Independent)

Tackling anti-social behaviour is a top priority for this Government, and a key part of our Safer Streets Mission to take back our streets.

​We will put thousands of neighbourhood police and community support officers into local communities and crack down on those causing havoc on our high streets by introducing tougher powers, including new Respect Orders to tackle repeat offending.

We will give police the powers they need to take action on dangerous and anti-social electric scooters and bikes so that they will be able to quickly destroy the bikes that they seize from offenders. We will set out more information in due course.
