Description

Prospective West London councillor Linden Grigg criticizes Hounslow Councils decision to end its contract with e-bike provider Lime, claiming it caused a significant drop in cycling rates and created chaos. Grigg argues the councils choice was driven by financial gain, not the best service for residents. He points to data showing a substantial decrease in e-bike journeys after the switch to Forest and Voi. The council disputes these claims, stating the dip was expected during the transition and fleet sizes have now reached expected levels.
