Overview and Scrutiny Committee - Tuesday, 21 July 2026 - 7.00 pm

The Overview and Scrutiny Committee of Lambeth Council met on Tuesday 21 July 2026 to discuss the management of e-bikes and scooters, and the council's financial planning and medium-term financial strategy. The committee reviewed the current Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with dockless e-bike operators, which has been revised to provide a stronger framework for managing operations, parking, fleet size, and data sharing. This interim arrangement, in place until a pan-London licensing scheme is introduced, aims to balance the benefits of micromobility with the need for accessible and uncluttered streets. Operators are required to adhere to bay-only parking, provide live data, and manage user behaviour, with financial penalties for non-compliance. The council also noted its ongoing work with Transport for London (TfL) and the Greater London Authority (GLA) in preparation for future statutory licensing.
