City of Melbourne Lord Mayor Sally Capp says the council could ban e-scooter hire companies if they cannot stop customers riding the devices on footpaths and leaving them parked haphazardly around the inner-city.

The City of Melbourne council could ban e-scooter hire companies if they cannot stop customers riding the devices on footpaths and leaving them parked haphazardly around the inner-city, Lord Mayor Sally Capp says.

Capp said she remained a strong supporter of e-scooters, but could not ignore the “resounding chorus” of pedestrians, residents and traders concerned about the devices being ridden illegally on footpaths or left blocking walkways. “I’ve recently been to Rome, where I think I counted up to eight operators, and there are scooters all around the streets. It did send a bit of a chill down my spine,” she said.
