E-Bike Update
In the trial period, the borough have seized and stored nearly 50 bikes and it is hoped that this action will incentivise operators to be stricter with how they manage poor user behaviour on our streets.
The borough can legally only remove bikes where they are:
- lying across the highway, obstructing safe passage.
- positioned on the pavement in a way that forces pedestrians to step into the road to pass.
- likely to fall over, posing a risk of injury to pedestrians.
- situated in the road in a manner that endangers drivers or pedestrians.
Though this is a resource intensive task, the borough will continue to remove as many bikes as possible when we are made aware of them and operators then invoiced for the removal and storage of their bikes.
