by Council in East London intends to reduce e-bike travel prices and to reduce £ 80 with the Dockless Cycle rental company to collect every bike that is dangerously parked on its streets.
The Hackney Council has informed the companies that they will operate the district’s electrobike sharing program for at least the next three years, in which the trips with 1.75 GBP are to be limited -just like a bus driving price -to make electrocycles more affordable for the residents.
The town hall stated that the two successful bidders also have to pay 80 GBP for the estimated Treaty of 93 million GBP in order to recover all e-cycles that the Council confesses due to unsafe or obstructive parking spaces.
At the beginning of July, Cllr Sarah Young determined the cabinet member for the climate, environment and transport, the suggestions as part of the vision of the council for a “fair, safe, accessible, just and sustainable” transport system that takes into account the needs of residents, visitors and companies.
The guidelines will “make the private sector further innovative in key areas,” added the town hall, while the council can monitor the parking of cycle.
Until the new contract in October, the city council plans to create over 1,000 new designated rooms for docks’ e-bike parking spaces, which are managed “much stricter”. The residents also have access to a wider variety of bicycles, including lighter models.
Most e-bikes in Hackney are currently provided by Lime. Beryl also offers residents e-cargo bike rental services that can also access the Santander cycles of TFL.
The local Democracy report (LDRS) asked the locals to weigh up how the system in the district has exchanged. Eddy Ambrosi, who has the Frizzante restaurant on the Hackney City Farm in the Heggerston Park, supported the efforts to “become” greener “, but urged the need for more designated bays. “At the moment it’s a bit wild west,” he said.
Mr. Ambrosi referred to the question of the “chaotic” park in the localowners. “People are not responsible,” he said.
“The shame is that it is also easy to steal [these bikes]And because of this hackney, because of the beep is one of the loud areas. Sometimes people don’t think about it when they just put it on the floor – it could stand in the way of someone with a disability. “
The problem of parking and crime at a low level was also raised by Sadiya and Amina Shaikh, which help to lead their family business in family -owned in one of the busy shopping areas of Hackney. “It’s a great high street, but it gets worse with young people on e-bikes,” said Amina.
“They are okay, but people don’t know how to drive them. They expect them to get out of the way and park it wherever they want,” said Sadiya, who complained about cycles that were “unloaded” outside of their shop front. “Someone fell out of one almost once, and the window almost broke. They just went away.”
Amina submitted the indictment of collecting poorly moving bikes and suggested that there are drivers who should pay the restoration costs. “Maybe not £ 80, but a little cheaper-more in line with the cost of living,” she said. Both sisters added that the size was also a factor, along with the rental bikes, which drove up the road from “many” telephone clocks.
The LDRs approached the lime, Waldrad and animal, which operated either in hackney or in the nearby districts, about the advice of the council. The companies either refused to make a comment or did not answer.
