Lavant Parish Council are supporting the national campaign to improve the safety of lithium batteries (used in e-bikes and e-scooters) and their disposal.

"Fires caused by lithium-ion batteries in e-scooters and e-bikes have multiplied fourfold since 2020, resulting in deaths, hospitalisations, homelessness, and staggering financial losses. Since 2020, over 190 people have been injured, and at least 13 lives have been lost due to this concerning trend.

Sign up to our campaign to find out how we can together, tackle the alarming surge in deaths and injuries caused by fires and explosions from e-scooter and e-bike batteries."
