We wouldn't allow this for bus or taxi drivers, so why do we allow it for our food delivery?

WELCOME to the first of my regular monthly columns, I'm thrilled to have the chance to keep you in the loop on my work both in Westminster and locally.

This month, I want to share an update on my ongoing battle against dangerous and antisocial behaviour from unlicensed moped drivers.

If you've walked through Redhill town centre recently (though the problem can certainly be seen in other areas too) you've probably noticed the stream of mopeds weaving between cars and speeding along pavements to deliver takeaway food.

Many residents have contacted me with concerns about safety, near misses and reckless or antisocial behaviour.

The root of the problem is that a significant number of these riders don't hold a full driving licence - and the law currently allows this.
