The National Government has decided they would like extend the end date of e-scooter trials across the country until 31st March 2022.
It’s all part of their attempt to try out different forms of transport – which have been wildly popular in some cities.
Beryl are the company that’s carrying out the trial here on the Isle of Wight. News OnTheWight asked them their view on the Government’s plan to extend.
Beryl: Keen to continue
They told us, as the Island trial was a collaboration with IWC council they weren’t able to decide independently, but given the opportunity, they’d be keen to continue.
When we approached the Isle of Wight Council a spokesperson said,
“No decision has yet been made in respect of extending the e-scooter trial beyond the original 12 months.”
Launched in December 2020, the trial has had mixed reactions – some loving them, others not.
