Details have now been published of where Hounslow Council intends to position bays for the deposit of e-Bikes.
The council recently decided to participate in a trial which would allow companies such as Lime to officially operate in the area. Previously, electronic hire bikes could be ridden within the borough but there was no formal arrangement between the council and the operators.
Under the proposed scheme from 16 May 2023, the council will be introducing a first phase of bays across the Brentford and Chiswick areas, and this will include alteration of the existing road markings and, where necessary, removal of any existing parking bay signage.
There are 23 bays proposed in the Brentford area of which 12 will be converted from parking bays including those in resident parking areas. The remainder will either be on the footway or where there are currently parking restrictions.
The list below is provisional and implementation will depend on factors such as the weather and the removal of vehicles parked in the designated zones.
The bays will be introduced in phases, starting in Brentford and Chiswick, and working westwards. The council says this is because the east of the borough is closest to existing e-bike operations in neighbouring boroughs. The intention is to expand westwards across the whole borough in die course.
Work will commence from Monday (15 May) starting in Syon & Brentford Lock ward followed by the Brentford West and Brentford East wards. The installations will take place in the Chiswick wards in the following week.
Prior to these works starting, the council will be placing cones at locations where the bays are to be marked and installing temporary signage to identify that these bays are suspended whilst the works take place.
Should the work be on schedule it is anticipated that e-bikes will be positioned in the bays and will be available for hire from early June 2023.
The locations of the proposed bays are in the table below.
