Councillor Dr James Chard

Councillor James Chard expressed disappointment that TfL's financial support for walking and cycling measures has not reflected the borough's achievements. He welcomed the lane rental scheme, stating it would encourage better coordination of utilities work and be a positive development for residents. The councillor noted that the financial contribution offered by a single e-bike hire provider was significantly larger, tipping the balance in favour of the recommendation. He raised concerns about the interaction between the bikehangar programme and the potential repurposing of vacant car club bays. Councillor Chard inquired about the possibility of another provider stepping in to fill the gap left by Zipcar and the future use of the parking bays. He raised concerns about EU citizens losing their voting rights due to changes following Brexit.
