answer text <p>The Government agrees that bike-share schemes have the potential to deliver many benefits, provided they are introduced and managed responsibly. It is for local authorities rather than central Government to determine whether, and if so how, to promote bike-share schemes in their areas. The Government’s overall plans to increase cycling and walking, together with a summary of the available funding, are set out in the statutory Cycling and Walking Investment Strategy published in April 2017.</p> more like this

The Department also held a workshop in January 2018 where national standards were discussed. The Department is not currently developing a national standard, pending investigation into the use of existing powers and byelaws. Officials are liaising with Transport for London colleagues to investigate the potential for bye-laws to be used as a tool for local authorities to develop consistent bike-sharing standards.</p><p> </p><p><strong> </strong></p> more like this
