However, shared bicycles are subject to the same legal requirements and byelaws that already exist regarding bicycle standards and parking. The potential growth of this style of scheme means that this is an area that the Department is monitoring with interest.</p> answering member constituency Harrogate and Knaresborough answering member printed Andrew Jones grouped question UIN 69723 question first answered 20/04/2017 14:46:18 answering member 3996 label Biography information for Andrew Jones

uin	67941
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/03/2017 answer text <p>Bikeability Plus has been developed to address specific barriers to children cycling more often, in addition to and support of the core Bikeability training. It was piloted in a number of areas across England. During the pilot, the number of children who cycled to school at least once a week more than doubled. During the piloting of Bikeability Plus, a number of authorities reported positive impacts on the provision of core Bikeability training. It was found that in areas where Bikeability Plus had been delivered, instructors delivering core Bikeability modules were able to spend more time on the road training children. Monitoring of Bikeability and Bikeability Plus programmes is ongoing.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Harrogate and Knaresborough answering member printed Andrew Jones question first answered 21/03/2017 14:18:17 answering member 3996 label Biography information for Andrew Jones

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/02/2017 answer text <p>The impacts on patronage, mileage and fares that are directly attributable to a quality partnership scheme – rather than influenced by other factors – can be difficult to identify. The assessment of the performance of individual quality partnerships schemes is primarily a matter for the local authorities that have introduced them and it is for them, working in co-operation with their local bus operators, to determine whether the objectives of individual schemes are being met.</p><p> </p><p>However, in autumn 2015, the Department held a number of workshops on options to reform the legal framework for bus services. Discussions at these events, and more widely, suggest that both local authorities and bus operators found that partnership schemes have usually achieved or exceeded their objectives.</p> answering member constituency Harrogate and Knaresborough answering member printed Andrew Jones question first answered 28/02/2017 13:52:54 answering member 3996 label Biography information for Andrew Jones
