Most of these micromobility vehicles will be the property of a single large provider rather than an individual. My amendment seeks to introduce a straightforward mechanism. Local authorities already have the power to remove them. This would give them the power to destroy and dispose of them within a specific period. I have said within three days, but it could be five days. I am happy to compromise on the number of days. If there is an apparent owner—if it says “Lime bike” on the side, for example—they will have to give a notice to the apparent owner that they can collect them within that period. This is essential if the Government are not to create a licensing regime that is not accompanied by proper and effective enforcement. So I strongly urge, and hope that I get a lot of support for, Amendment 111.
