Agenda item

A Member reported an increase in the use of mobility scooters in the Square Mile, which was likely to increase further if more restrictions of buses and taxis were introduced, and asked if this had been accounted for in the City of London Corporation’s plans, as it had become an issue elsewhere.

The Director of the Built Environment responded that this was an important issue to raise and clear communication would be vital. As mobility scooters could be used on pavements, widening pavements would be important to ensure that mobility aids could be used comfortably with enough room for others too. It was hoped that the direction of the Transport Strategy would enable the space needed for all.

The Chairman then thanked Members and officers for their attendance and thanked Members of the public watching the live broadcast, before closing the meeting.
