We were pleased to join @nlalondon last week for the unveiling of the extension to the NLA model, now featuring Barking Riverside.

We’re proud to support the borough-wide launch of @voitechnology’s new e-bike scheme, delivered in partnership with @lbbdcouncil.

With up to 200 bikes available soon, including in Barking Riverside, this pilot supports safer, cleaner and more active ways to travel.

As we continue to deliver a well-connected neighbourhood - including the @TfL Overground, @thamesclippers, and new cycle infrastructure - partnerships like this are key to reducing car dependency.
