With Christmas just around the corner, the Staffordshire Safer Roads Partnership (SSRP) has some important advice for anyone thinking about buying an e-scooter as a present.
While it’s legal to buy and own an e-scooter, you can only legally ride a privately owned one on private land, with the landowner’s permission.
This means it is against the law to ride, or to allow your child to ride, an e-scooter anywhere on the roads, pavements, cycle tracks and parks, or to school. If a child is stopped by the Police, and they suspect a parent or carer has purchased the e-scooter for them and allowed its use on the highway, the parent may be investigated for causing or permitting a traffic offence.
Riding an e-scooter illegally can result in a £300 fine, penalty points, and in some cases prosecution. It is also likely that the e-scooter will be seized.
As well as the legal implications of using e-scooters, they also pose a significant fire safety risk due to the lithium-ion batteries that are used to power them. These can spread a fire rapidly if they ignite and explode.

Tonight, Friday 5th December, Councillor Chandra Kanneganti officially turned on the Christmas Tree Lights at BP’s Sandyford Service Station, where a number of residents along with their families braved the rain and stormy weather to witness the event.
Sandyford & Goldenhill Residents Association contacted the family run Kay Group who operate service stations across the Midlands and North of England to erect a Christmas Tree over the festive season, which they kindly agreed to do for the residents who live in the Sandyford & Goldenhill area.
Councillor Chandra Kanneganti has arranged for FREE chocolates and sweets to be made available out of his Ward Budget for children who attend the event this afternoon, and not forgetting the occasional chocolate or sweet for visiting parents and grandparents.
We look forward to seeing you there.
Councillor Chandra Kanneganti, David Williams M.P. Staffordshire Police and Sandyford & Goldenhill Residents Association came together to meet Senior Management from Tesco (pictured) to discuss an increase in shoplifting issues in Sandyford.
The meeting proved productive in how to tackle the ongoing shoplifting problem in Sandyford & Goldenhill, which is something the police, Tesco, politicians and residents association are keen to deter the activity.
A number of suggestions have been put forward, and it’s hoped some of the ideas, which will be put into place should make shoplifters think twice before committing the crime.
Staffordshire Police say don’t leave vehicles unattended with the engine running. In the last 3 days, just in Stoke North, we have had in the region of 6 vehicles stolen whereby, the owner has left the engine running whilst just nipping back into the house for something.
One of the vehicles was a delivery van whereby the owner turned off the engine, but left the keys inside while he made a delivery. As a keyless start vehicle it was gone in seconds.
Also, be aware that your insurance may refuse to pay out if you have left the keys in/engine running as you have not taken all reasonable steps to keep your vehicle secure.
Sandyford & Goldenhill Residents Association gets a “Thumbs Up” for keeping residents and motorists updated when roadworks have taken place during the last couple of weeks between Tunstall’s Haymarket and Goldenhill’s High Street/Kidsgrove Road.
Residents have personally thanked the residents association for keeping them informed, including a thank you to Councillor Kanneganti for sharing the information on his Facebook Page. The contractor has also said they have valued the residents association’s input by keeping everyone updated as much as possible, which has been a difficult operation for them when having to close large stretches of the busy A50 road.
As a residents association which started back in 1999, it has always been a pleasure to inform, help and support as many of it’s residents where possible and trusts it can carry on doing this for many years to come.

Monday 1st December, High Street will be fully closed to traffic from Sandyford’s KFC roundabout to Tunstall’s Haymarket between 8.00 p.m. and 6.00 a.m.
The reason for extensive roadworks is to patch and repair potholes, as well as iron works which involve drains and manholes. The work also includes replacing road markings throughout the road network as well.
The resident’s association has been advised that further road works could take place along this stretch of road after tonight, although the contractor emphasised there will be no more road closures.
The contractor maintains that access to properties and estates will be restricted due to extensive road works taking place, although realising the closing of a major road network will inconvenience many drivers who use the A50, but said it will do its best to keep disruption to a minimum.
Councillor Chandra Kanneganti and Sandyford & Goldenhill Residents Association are pleased the road works are coming to an end, and thank residents and motorists for their patience during these disruptive couple of weeks.
Sandyford’s “Christmas Tree Light Switch On” by Councillor Chandra Kanneganti will take place at the B.P. Service Station, next to the KFC roundabout (Sandyford) on Friday 5th December at 4.30 p.m.
Sandyford & Goldenhill Residents Association (SAGE) contacted the Kay Group to see if they could add some Christmas festivity to the area by erecting a Christmas tree, which they kindly agreed to do. The 20ft high tree will be visible from all directions due to the service station being located in a prominent position, and the company thought this would be a good contribution to Sandyford, especially at this time of year.
The Kay Group, Sandyford & Goldenhill Residents Association and Councillor Kanneganti would like to take this opportunity of inviting as many people to come to the official Christmas Tree Light Switch On, which the councillor has arranged for FREE chocolates and sweets to be made available out of his Ward Budget for children who attend the event, and not forgetting the occasional chocolate or sweet for visiting parents and grandparents.
We would like to say a special big thank you to the Kay Group because they were never under any obligation to erect this spectacular Christmas tree, which they said they were pleased to do for local residents and motorists who drive through Sandyford.
