I've just received this email from the scooter rental people.
Parking your Voi e-scooter will change from August 2nd
Hi Liverpool Voiager!
At Voi, we believe the streets belong to everyone. And we want them safe and accessible for all.
That’s why, from August 2nd, you’ll only be able to park our e-scooters in a Mandatory Parking Zone (MPZ).
Right now, you’ve got over 800 Mandatory Parking Zones to choose from, right across the city! And many more are going up every week.
How Mandatory Parking Zones help Liverpool
Riders ending their rides in specific zones ensures that scooters are parked in proper places, which has huge benefits for you and the city:
More fixed places where you KNOW you can find a scooter, instead of them being scattered citywide
Roads, ramps, and entrances kept clear for other road users
Clutter-free pavements for pedestrians, young children, prams, wheelchairs, and the visually-impaired
Make the city a cleaner, safer, happier place to be.
So don’t be a bump in the road! Park smart.
