Antisocial Behaviour (ASB)
Issued: 21 Apr 2026
Status Update
The Neighbourhood Policing Team continues to carry out regular patrols, focusing on areas where reports of ASB have been made.

Antisocial Driving - e-scooters
Issued: 21 Apr 2026
Status Update
Patrols will continue to tackle illegal use of these e-scooters. Ongoing work to increase awareness around the illegal use continues.
In the first instance, we provide an educative approach on the legality of the use of e-scooters in Sussex.
Vulnerable road users, including pedal cyclists, are at heightened risk of serious injury or fatality in road collisions.
With cycling promoted as a sustainable mode of transport, Sussex Police prioritises both the safety of cyclists and the enforcement of responsible cycling behaviour.
It is not currently possible to get insurance for privately owned e-scooters. This means it’s illegal to use them on the road or in public spaces, such as parks, street pavements, and shopping centres.
If you use a privately-owned e-scooter in public, you risk the vehicle being seized under S.165 Road Traffic Act 1988 for having no insurance.
If you cause serious harm to another person whilst riding an e-scooter, the incident will be investigated in the same way it would if you were riding a motorcycle or driving a car.
