The Government want operators to take responsibility for ensuring their vehicles are not obstructing pavements, but through licensing rather than additional and unnecessary police powers. The Government agree that shared-cycle operators must ensure their bikes are parked appropriately and do not obstruct pavements. This is why licensing will include provisions to fine operators or suspend or revoke licences for breaching parking requirements or other requirements set out in licences. We must ensure that our streets remain safe and accessible.
