@PDimoldenberg It is clear these rental bays are not working and disrupting lives of people who live in the area. The council needs to take responsibility. Not enough hours in the day to report every incorrectly left bikei come across to every operator

[Marylebone Mums @MaryleboneMums]

North side of Bryanston square today. So the black bins that created a mess now replaced by these bikes dumped by operators and users. Time to take action @PDimoldenberg it can’t go on like this. @barbararesearch @MaryleboneAssoc

[Marylebone Mums @MaryleboneMums]

Still 2 parking bays blocked with bikes Monday morning @PDimoldenberg -photo taken at the line marking start of resident bays

[Marylebone Mums @MaryleboneMums]

Yet again 2 resident parking bays strewn with rental bikes and scooters north side of Portman Sq. What action is being taken to prevent and penalise this? It is impacting residents daily lives @PDimoldenberg @barbararesearch @MaryleboneAssoc

@apiculturalLdn @PDimoldenberg @barbararesearch @MaryleboneAssoc @Como_uk @limebike @TfL @MayorofLondon Operators don’t care. This has been going on long enough now and recently it got worse rather than better even though the council is supposed to be getting operators in line. @CityWestminster needs to do something as it’s getting worse every day

[Marylebone Mums @MaryleboneMums]

@PDimoldenberg @barbararesearch @MaryleboneAssoc It will happen again, if not tomorrow then the day after. And then again, and again. At multiple locations in the area impacting residents, also unsightly and hazardous. Does @CityWestminster not care about residents? @leader_wcc was it all bluster to win the election?

[Marylebone Mums @MaryleboneMums]

@MarbleArchLDN @olivierbouan @PDimoldenberg @MaryleboneAssoc @limebike @CityWestminster @CllrPLilley Exactly - bikes appear overnight, clearly left by the operators who are aware that they should only be within delineated & designated bays. It is not users parking then badly. Who is holding operators accountable to this clear rule-breaking? @PDimoldenberg

[Marylebone Mums @MaryleboneMums]

@MaryleboneAssoc @limebike @CityWestminster @CllrPLilley @PDimoldenberg @barbararesearch @PDimoldenberg this situation is not sustainable. Residents bays are being blocked up by these bikes being dumped everywhere in the area. @limebike spaces are clearly marked but you are not respecting rules set out for you

[Marylebone Mums @MaryleboneMums]

One space has been cleared now but another remains full of Forest bikes, a few Lime bikes and scooters. Also now Lime bikes on the extended pavement at traffic lights. Walk round the Sq and count the number of these bikes left everywhere

[Marylebone Mums @MaryleboneMums]

2+ Resident parking bays taken up with @limebike and Tier bikes on the North side of Portman Square well beyond the large designated area for bike parking. Again bikes being left here in bulk here like on all the squares in the area recently @PDimoldenberg @barbararesearch

[Marylebone Mums @MaryleboneMums]

@AinsleyFoods @Tesco hope they'll be more widely available soon!

[Marylebone Mums @MaryleboneMums]

@hubbstercat @DrJenGunter Seeing this helps put my mind at rest. But what's messed up is that its been 10 years since I had a baby and formula-fed, yet I still worry I did the wrong thing. The guilt created by this public health messaging around breast is best is so wrong.

[Marylebone Mums @MaryleboneMums]

@Tony_Devenish @TfL @SadiqKhan They don't even tell you at the previous stop that they won't stop at Lancaster Gate, so at least you could alight at Marble Arch or Queensway depending on your direction of travel - locals are very fed up, at least give us basic info

[Barbara Arzymanow @barbararesearch]

The shattered glass on top floor balcony overlooking playground at #PaddingtonStreetGardens is now fully repaired so playground has been reopened today. Please spread the word @MaryleboneMums and local primary Marylebone Schools.

[Marylebone Mums @MaryleboneMums]

@PDimoldenberg @DWRICHARDS @Tony_Devenish @CityWestminster @AdamHug Have they been deployed to different areas than previously though? I’m seeing the street sweepers and collection vehicles far less that I used to around the Marylebone area. Amount of rubbish and dumping in the area is noticeably higher

[Westminster City Council @CityWestminster]

@w9maidavale Look forward to seeing the details & consultation as the project progresses. Families locally value bus access along Oxford street and have always been concerned about diverting traffic into surrounding residential areas. Good news re Manchester Sq too.

[Marylebone Mums @MaryleboneMums]

@twocitiesnickie @UKParliament You mention Parliament and developers but the weak link in the chain at least here is the local council (WCC) who you'd think should know and understand local dynamics but repeatedly demonstrated to the contrary, never listing to residents & passing widely unsupported plans

[Marylebone Mums @MaryleboneMums]

Great to see Lord Mayor of Westminster @Hamza_Taouzzale representing our borough at the concert, bringing youth, diversity and inspiration to local children at this amazing event #PlatinumJubilee
