Big news (subject to contract) - from this Summer. Richmond will be increasing the number of e-bikes available to residents from 1,100 to 1,500. Our new provider, Forest will offer full access to EVERY neighbouring area & user PRICES (more in due course) are very exciting!
Sorry to hear of the death of Tony Paterson, who stood down as a councillor in Mortlake in May.
Active to the end, Tony was closely involved in Lib Dem Friends of Ukraine, and stood for Parliament in 1979 against Margaret Thatcher in Finchley. Rest in peace, Tony.
Cargo bike use in London is booming - up 126% since 2022.
This week I joined 50 businesses - from Royal Mail to delivery firms, waste companies & tradespeople - to celebrate & raise awareness of this clean, green & economical alternative to diesel vans.

Together, we can make sure Richmond gets the fair deal it deserves.

"Another kick in the teeth for Richmond..."
That's how the Leader of the Council has described the Mayor of London's proposed Tourist Tax, labelling it as another cash grab from the borough.

Today, we're remembering former Councillor Robin Brown by flying York House's Union Flag at half mast.
He dedicated eight years of service to #LBRuT and the community he cared so deeply about, serving residents with integrity and compassion.

Just a quick heads-up.
NO SURGERY this Morning (August 01) at 10am - St Margaret’s and North Twickenham.
Summer Holiday break - but please email or call any of your Councillor team with any issues you face this month.
@morefoodphotos@LBRUT@forestbike_uk Helen. I am sorry you have had this experience. I am not aware of any wider problem, but if you could email me the locations/bike numbers or similar I can raise with Forest management.
@TopazAmoore@Listen_toLocals@forestbike_uk@LBRUT If you had a subscription. Sure. Most people didnt & offer was 10 mins. Regardless, Forest are considerable cheaper. They have had some network outages, which have impacted service recently - but I’m confident they are getting on top of these issues. Lime had similar issues
@TopazAmoore@ClareDelmar@forestbike_uk Lime Scooters are still available in this borough. They were never removed by this Council. If Lime arent supplying them to certaon locations, thats really a matter to adress with them. Would you like me to pick this up?
@TopazAmoore@Listen_toLocals@forestbike_uk@LBRUT You couldnt reserve a bike for 30
mins. You could hold it for 10 mins. It was a facility that some might have found useful, but clearly not as useful as a fleet size of 1,500 from a 500-1,000 fleet previously.
