AN investigation is underway following reports of e-scooters being “purposely” left across a road at night.

Bucks Council confirmed it is working with Thames Valley Police (TVP) following reports of Zipp Mobility e-scooters being put in the road opposite Rowlands Pharmacy, on Totteridge Lane, High Wycombe, at night.

People on social media condemned the reckless action, and some warned drivers to “be careful” in case a “serious” crash happens.

“Some very sad people about,” one person wrote.

“E-scooters used properly and regularly monitored are providing some people with alternative transport,” said Independent Cllr Julia Wassell.

“We live in a hilly area with parking pressures, new initiatives must be piloted.”
