Following a public consultation, Camden Council has agreed to join the Transport for London rental e-scooter trial.
TfL has been working with London boroughs and other organisations such as the Metropolitan Police and London Councils to develop proposals for a rental e-scooter trial in London. The aim of the trial is to provide an alternative option to public transport, taxis or private cars.
The council undertook a consultation in June and July, with the feedback providing valuable information on how the public and key stakeholders perceive the proposals.
The trial will enable the public to hire free standing e-scooters, available for use on-street borough-wide, in a similar way to the dockless hire bikes already provided in Camden.
At the end of each journey the e-scooter will be required to be left within a designated parking bay, the majority of which the council will be providing on the road in place of motor vehicle parking spaces (rather than on the pavement), allowing the next user to then hire the e-scooter from the bay. Providing designated parking bays will help ensure that pavements are kept free of clutter, allowing pedestrians to move easily.
The council will also work with the rental e-scooter companies, TfL, and the police as part of the development and implementation of the trial, which would include e-scooter training and enforcement activity.
Adam Harrison, cabinet member for a Sustainable Camden, said: “The Covid-19 pandemic has changed how communities in Camden live, travel and work. We want our streets to have more space for everyone to walk and cycle, for you to be breathing cleaner air, for children to get to and from school safely and for businesses to be able to flourish.
“Rental e-scooters could be one solution, providing an alternative mode of transport that is emission free, potentially reducing the number of motor vehicles on our streets and easing pressures on the transport network, which is why we undertook an extensive consultation to hear the views from as many people as possible.”
