Yobs on Lime scooters hit a sour note at Quays

The scooters, currently in the area as part of a trial scheme until 2026, are being taken to the Quayside car park next to the Lowry Theatre and shopping centre around 11pm some nights, with children using them to scoot down the ramps while shouting and screaming, according to Salford Quays councillor Jonathan Moore.

He said the noise can be heard in the nearby apartments such as the NV Buildings, and that the scooters are also being left outside of designated parking areas, often blocking pavements around the bus stop on Quays Road.

The scooters cost £1 to unlock and 17p per minute to use, and are available to anyone 18 or over with a provisional driving licence but Coun Moore said children's parents could be using their details to help their kids access the scooters.

"In the car park they go to the top floors and they shoot up and down the ramps, they go at maximum speed and shouting and shrieking and all the rest of it," he said.
