  1. Overview
  2. Schemes and consultations
  3. Report obstructively parked hire cycles

We support cycle hire schemes as one of the active travel options available to help residents reduce emissions, improve overall health, and save money.

E-bike hire schemes are currently unregulated, which allows them to operate without an agreement from us with a free-floating parking model. In the absence of an agreement, e-bikes can park on the public highway as long as obstruction is not caused. We intend to enter into a formal agreement with some operators which will be based on dedicated parking spaces that will allow better management of cycle parking. To facilitate this agreement, we intend to install 300 dedicated cycle hire bays throughout the borough by March 2025. 

Map of cycle hire bays

Report and cabinet member decision February 2025

The following report sets our intention to formalise the current unregulated e-bike hire scheme by entering into a formal agreement with operators. The scheme will be based on mandatory parking bays which means that riders would be required to start and end their ride within an e-bike cycle hire parking bay.

The proposed parking bays on the carriageway require a statutory consultation which is being progressed in batches.
