In some cases, e-bikes may be parked on the pavement if they do not cause an obstruction. An obstruction is an offence under the Highways Act and is enforceable by the police.</p><p> </p><p>E-scooter rental trials are live in 25 areas across England, were launched in July 2020, and will be running until 31 May 2024. The Department has also published guidance for local authorities and e-scooter operators on running trials. It has required them to engage with local police forces and accessibility groups in designing their proposals, to mitigate potential non-compliance and manage e-scooter parking.</p><p> </p><p>When parliamentary time allows, The Government intends to introduce legislation which would enable local authorities to manage rental services of bikes, e-bikes and e-scooters. This will allow them to regulate rental micromobility schemes and tailor them to local priorities and considerations while still ensuring a baseline national standard of service provision. It would also include the ability to manage fleet sizes, parking arrangements and access to the rental market.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 14/02/2023 13:27:07 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/02/2023 answer text <p>Based on the December 2022 headcount figures, there has been a reduction of approximately 150 in on-board managers who undertake catering duties since Avanti West Coast (AWC) first took over the Franchise. It is important to note that pre-COVID staffing levels aligned to the timetable and catering proposition operating at that time. During the pandemic, AWC operated reduced timetables and moved towards demand-based staffing on-board, with staff who retired or resigned not automatically replaced. There has also been an industry-led Voluntary Service Scheme which was available to catering staff who opted to leave. AWC monitor catering demand and fill vacancies as required.</p> answering member constituency Bexhill and Battle answering member printed Huw Merriman question first answered 09/02/2023 12:09:45 answering member 4442 label Biography information for Huw Merriman
