Dockless Bikes
Lewisham Council is formalising agreements with dockless e-bike operators to manage operations and parking across the borough.
Lewisham Council is formalising agreements with dockless e-bike operators Lime and Forest through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). This initiative, discussed by the Sustainable Development Select Committee in March 2026, aims to better manage operations and parking across the borough, addressing concerns about obstructive parking and its impact on accessibility.
The proposed MoU will outline service standards, parking compliance, deployment rules, fleet size, user education, and data sharing responsibilities for operators. The council's Dockless Bikes programme supports cycle hire schemes and ensures bikes are parked in designated bays, as reported in March 2026.
