People using electric scooters should stay off footpaths in Naas.
Cllr Anne Breen told a Naas Municipal District meeting that it is happening on a daily basis and asked if Kildare County Council will take action against e scooter users and cyclists using the footpath.
Cllr Bill Clear said this is happening only because they don’t feel safe on the road with all of trucks passing through Naas.
According to KCC official Pamela Pender measures covering the use of the scooters have yet to pass into law. Ms Pender also said it is illegal for e-scooters to be used on public roads, pavements and cycle paths. Concerns regarding the improper use of e- scooters and bicycles on footpaths should be referred to Garda enforcement, she added.
