Additionally, the council is enhancing patrols to swiftly tackle badly parked bikes, reflecting a growing concern for public safety as e-bike usage has significantly increased in the area.
Brent Council is addressing the issue of anti-social e-bike parking by reducing the Lime bike fleet, introducing mandatory parking bays, and enhancing safety measures.
Council leader Muhammed Butt assured that measures are in place to control disruptive bike parking and that they have squeezed concessions from Lime during negotiations.
With over 100,000 users in Brent since 2019, Lime bikes have contributed to nearly two-million trips, prompting the need for stricter parking regulations due to public safety concerns.
The public consultation will help gather community input on where to establish new bike racks to prevent issues related to poorly parked e-bikes.
