@clissoldpeople @hackneycouncil Excellent! Thanks

@BySigmarYes @juliannemarriot Yes they can, from the other end. All the addresses are accessible by vehicle but the road is access only which means that you can’t drive through it to get to a different street, but can access the road just fine if you live there, make a delivery, dropping someone off etc.

@BySigmarYes @juliannemarriot Which is what exactly? If you believe that car usage needs to be reduced (somehow) and that side streets should not remain popular cut-through-roads thanks to Google Maps and Waze then you’re more likely to accept the need to change driving habits for the greater good.

@BySigmarYes @juliannemarriot Finally, I’m sure a lot of people weren’t too happy about the smoking ban in 2007, yet here we are after 15 years. Not everyone is going to happy with a big change that takes getting used to and requires people to do things differently.

@BySigmarYes @juliannemarriot Also, a third of car journeys in London according to a TfL study in 2015 are less than 2 miles. Making driving inconvenient is meant to get people to think twice before getting into a car, if the journey is relatively short and they are able to use other options for that journey.

@BySigmarYes @juliannemarriot There are no bollards in the Stoke Newington LTNs. There’s been a huge increase in traffic through side streets in the last 10 years due to the use of Satnavs (60%+) so making those streets access only so they can’t be a cut-through is sensible..depending who you ask of course.

What public realm improvements would you like to see in Church Street and other streets in addition to the ongoing work that includes pavement widening, continuous pavement, parklets and street trees?

@AkashMapara @kate_revere It’s private but the entrance before the gate is an ideal spot for a three-point turn.

@AkashMapara @kate_revere Three-point turn :) it’s just opposite the entrance to the car park so only place you can do that especially vans. I noticed quite a few drivers do that to avoid the Bus Gate rather than follow the Exit Route and do a long U-turn via Lordship Terrace and Edward’s Lane.

@AkashMapara @kate_revere Yes, I suspect it’s to allow for three-point turn there, especially for large vehicles. That’s been a consideration in other sections of the street where pavement widening was a possibility.

@AkashMapara I’ve wondered the same thing myself. @kate_revere might know the answer.

@HackneyLFUG @okwithmydecay @clissoldpeople @hackneycouncil I think someone shared a screenshot from Lime that shows the bikes and the parking bays so easy to easy compare. Clearly, despite what Lime tell its customers to do, the reality is you don’t see clusters of available bikes only around parking bays.

@okwithmydecay @HackneyLFUG @clissoldpeople @hackneycouncil I think the flexibility and freedom to ride to your destination, also a matter of safety for some when riding late at night, will always win. Even if there’s a small fine, most people will value the ability to ride to exactly where they need to get to more.

@HackneyLFUG @KeaveT @limebike @hackneycouncil @metecoban92 As some suggested yesterday, why not tell Lime users they can only park in any bike stand, not just the designated ones?

@KeaveT @HackneyLFUG @limebike @hackneycouncil @metecoban92 Exactly. I suspect Lime doesn’t want to make it too direct, even though that’s what they signed up for, because it could easily put people off who sign up for a dockless service to have the flexibility and freedom to ride up to their destination, not to ride to a parking bay

@LauraPascal81 See here: x.com/metecoban92/st…

@KeaveT @HackneyLFUG @limebike @hackneycouncil @metecoban92 The contract Lime has with Hackney is that the bikes should only be parked in the designated cycle hire bays the council installed. In reality, and not surprisingly, that rarely happens. It’s a dockless service and a parking bay is essentially a docking bay.

@n0ra_bee @metecoban92 @hackneycouncil They possibly cannot handle the flood of reports their staff needs to review so they put a limit. It also means they’ll upset fewer of their customers that don’t park the bike in a cycle hire parking bays as they should and there are a LOT of those.

@HackneyLFUG @limebike @hackneycouncil @metecoban92 I think this reporting model is flawed. A rider can claim rightly that someone moved the bike after they left it properly. How can you prove that’s not the case? It’s not like with a car sharing service. Lime wouldn’t want to have to deal with disputes and upset customers.

Surprise surprise :) x.com/HackneyLFUG/st…

@HUChrisLL Riders may get fined only if someone reports them via the app, and I seriously doubt most users of the service report on one another. What’s the incentive? If you don’t report a dirty Zipcar, the next user can blame you for it so you’re motivated to report when you pick it up.

@HUChrisLL What sort of thing? Park a car sharing vehicle in the middle of the pavement or road for that matter? The contract the council has with Lime is that bikes have to always be parked in the bays. That’s how they got the contract. Whether that’s realistic is a very different matter

@bambury_jack What ‘land grab’ about paying to use a section of the public pavement if it’s been assessed there’s sufficient space for pedestrians and the business? Are you against the use by any business of any part of a pavement irrespective of size?

@bambury_jack You do realise that businesses that want to use the pavement need to get a Shop Front Trading Licence, pay for the use of the pavement IF a licence is granted once the council is satisfied there’s enough room on the pavement

@elekuentz I don’t use Lime. I rely on people who do use it to share what’s visible or not visible in the app. Some commented they don’t know where the parking bay are through the app. Still, cannot imagine people planning a Lime journey based on the parking bays. Do you? :)

@bjornksandberg Perhaps, though it was very lively on weekends, especially weekends even when there were no matches. There was great atmosphere. Been a few times since it reopened under new ownership and sadly, it’s been the exact opposite.

@SophieCam Yes. I’ll try to have a look. Still, 14 parking bays to cover 863 acres area is… not a lot :)

@SophieCam Isn’t the idea though that anywhere other than the parking bays should be “locked” to push people to only park there? I’d think there’s recognition and acceptance that sometimes, for various reasons, people will ‘have to’ park somewhere else so you cannot block them from doing so

@OriginRiddim Yes. He has been working on it for a few weeks now.

@StokeyLTN @RantyHighwayman @metecoban92 As there are parking bays in Oldfield Rd between Sandbrook Rd and Kynaston Rd I never understood why planters were also needed there as there’s a a ‘No Through Road’ sign in place. Was confusing I suspect. The filter is still in place and you can drive up to it to park there.

@okwithmydecay I sure hope so! Whether they are publicly available easily is a different matter. Could be somewhere in a lengthy PDF.

@okwithmydecay Thanks. I expected the council to have one available somewhere but if there is one, I cannot find it.

Is there a map anywhere of all the cycle hire parking bays in Hackney? If it’s only available in the Lime app, can someone share a few screenshots please? Thanks!

@limebike @HackneyLFUG @hackneycouncil @metecoban92 How much is a fine please? Curious if it’s enough of a deterrent. Thanks.

@SophieCam @jonburkeUK @BBCLondonNews I can only think of these 4 parking bays in Stoke Newington (west of the A10). I don’t expect anyone using a Lime bike in the area to park there, and we cannot have a bay in every street either Beatty Road/SN Rd
Lordship Rd/Fairholt Rd
Woodlea Rd/Church St
Fleetwood St/Church St

@SophieCam @jonburkeUK @BBCLondonNews Thank you. So where does that leave things then with Lime bikes dumped everywhere? Have yet to hear of anyone who was fined to parking a bike outside a bay, and there are only a handful of bays in Stoke Newington so I totally get why many people leave a bike on a pavement.

@mattycutler @SamKaplan The Clissold Park Tavern’s massive beer garden is VERY popular!

@c_r_shaw My pleasure! Using them for a second time next week.

@carolinefrmus My recommendations:
1. Abney Park Cemetery (derelict Victorian garden-cemetery and nature reserve)
2. Clissold Park
3. Stroll down Church St (plenty of shops, restaurants, cafes and bistros)
4. The Rose & Crown pub (Grade II Listed)
5. St Mary’s old church (16th century church)

@carolinefrmus Welcome to our neighbourhood! Plenty to see and enjoy. Hope you enjoy your visit and that it won’t be your last.

@carvalhoCAP Not wrong. See here. x.com/hackneycouncil…

@carvalhoCAP It was 60 or 90min ;)

@clissoldpeople @graemebulcraig @hackneycouncil @mayorofhackney @carowoodley Will do :)

@clissoldpeople @graemebulcraig @hackneycouncil @mayorofhackney @carowoodley Really :) I know it’s been mentioned several times but haven’t seen a response saying it’s been looked into and the conclusion is the page cannot be edited and that we’re stuck with “Not available!” if that’s what you mean. No worries. Let’s move on.

@clissoldpeople @graemebulcraig @hackneycouncil @mayorofhackney @carowoodley Enjoy :) if the issue is known but cannot be resolved at present, that’s fine. I haven’t seen any response to suggest that’s the case, the matter is considered closed and we can all move on from this pain point people keep raising.

@clissoldpeople @graemebulcraig @hackneycouncil @mayorofhackney @carowoodley I didn’t claim anyone was refusing to make the change and I’m very sympathetic to the technical challenges and limitations. I was merely highlighting a problem that may not be appreciated and suggested a solution. That’s all.

@clissoldpeople @graemebulcraig @hackneycouncil @mayorofhackney @carowoodley I suspect the booking system is a service the council is using and cannot edit beyond certain screens. If the supplier of the booking system isn’t able or willing to make the change to provide a better product to its (paying?) customers i.e. the council, then that’s the end of it

@clissoldpeople @graemebulcraig @hackneycouncil @mayorofhackney @carowoodley But surely the issue isn’t the people that do book, it’s all the ones that try, end up being told “Not available!“ thinking there’s a problem with the site and may give up after a few attempts. A clearer message will help ensure they know when to try again.

@clissoldpeople @graemebulcraig @hackneycouncil @mayorofhackney @carowoodley Indeed, though many people are also commenting that the response page when no slots are available isn’t helpful and leads to understandable frustration so if someone can edit the text there, I still think it’s worth doing.

@clissoldpeople @graemebulcraig @hackneycouncil @mayorofhackney @carowoodley Unless there’s a technical limitation and the shouty ‘Not available!’ page cannot be edited if it’s an external app, a more user friendly text should appear when no slots are available after you press BOOK NOW. Most people I suspect just click the button and don’t read the text.

@GianlucAvagnina @SLH68141003 I hope La Rosseta, Il Bacio Express, Zia Lucia, Trattoria Da Luigi, Primavera16, Good Pizza, Pizza Domino’s, Pizza Hut and Franco Manca in Stoke Newington are doing ok given the shortage of pizza chefs in London.

@time_rich The question is whether the goal is limit parking to parking bays only. Allowing parking elsewhere increases the likelihood some people will leave bikes blocking pavements.

@time_rich If you limit parking to parking bays though doesn’t that make a dockless service dockable? I suspect many people sign up because of the flexibility to park anywhere and ride all the way to your destination. A big plus late at night for example.

@Stokebrewington Maybe there’s hope t.co/4masxS5Y2G

@metecoban92 @SophieCam Great. Thank you.

@hello_antonia Talked to the owner coffee shop in Church St recently who told me his costs have gone through the roof in the last couple of years. Various factors and reasons behind it.

@milohill I wonder though what’s the incentive to do that. Educate your fellow Lime members? When you get a Zipcar you can report if it’s not clean, because then you know the mess won’t be pinned on you potentially by the next member using the car. Picking up a bike is a different story.

@SophieCam @metecoban92 Thanks. Interestingly, of all the recent LTNs, it was always the one in Oldfield Rd that was tampered with. Have never seen any of the others ‘stargazing’ or disconnected. Someone REALLY had it for the Oldfield Rd one.

The LTN enforcement camera in Oldfield Rd/Sandbrook Rd was removed months ago for “repairs” after it was tampered with several times. Strange that the solution is now to have a van instead given it’s a 24/7 filter @metecoban92. What’s up with that please? x.com/TheWomensRoom/…

@Gemma_Champ @milohill @limebike Exactly. It’s a DOCKLESS bike hire service. Parking bay = Docking bay. Makes no sense.

@milohill @limebike Thanks. Out of interest, is there a way in the app to report that the a bike isn’t parked ‘properly’?

FYI @metecoban92 @mayorofhackney t.co/So6bP5bsXR

I don’t think it’s practical to rely on people reporting dumped bikes as someone can rightly claim they parked properly and someone moved the bike afterwards. Seriously doubt Lime would want to get into resolving people disputing fines for not parking ‘properly’. x.com/StokeyUpdates/…

The 2 young boys I saw were around 12 and approached three women in their 60s or so randomly. One got very angry with them. I didn’t hear what was said but one was waving a juice bottle.

@mickab99 @kate_revere Poor excuse really. You can drive to any address in Church St 24/7, but depending where you drive from, between 7am-7pm, the journey may be a bit longer. If you miss Church St so much come and visit. Plenty of bus routes, and we even have a carpark if you want to drive over!
