Hearing St John's Wood frustrations over abandoned ebikes

We spoke to Cllr Robert Rigby, on the doorsteps of St John's Wood this morning. 

Robert reports back on local people's concerns.

Out and about on Saturday here in Regent's Park Ward, talking to local people about their local concerns and the failings of this Labour-led council. 

One of the concerns that keeps on coming up on the doorstep is the dumping of electric bikes, both Lime and Forest, literally just dumped on the pavement.

Dockless bikes’ parking chaos

Despite reassurances from the Labour-led Council, dockless bikes continue to run riot and block streets and pavements across the city. The council has introduced new parking spaces for dockless bikes and e-scooters last year, but it is clear the scheme is not working.

Homelessness and rough sleeping is rising under Labour

The numbers are stark. Homelessness and rough sleeping in Westminster are at record highs and is the highest of any council in the UK. The Labour-led council has allowed this crisis to get worse, with near year-on-year increases, without proper support to help people off the streets. This is the reality of life under this Labour-led Council: distracted by pet projects and headlines instead of helping vulnerable people who really need it.
