Good news for those of us who aren't happy with LimeBikes being dumped in and around Pymmes Park

The recent growth in the number of Lime Bikes abandoned in Pymmes Park is to be tackled following discussions between the Friends of Pymmes Park and LimeBikes.

The sight of bikes being dumped in the park’s hedges and water areas has become far too common. After representation from FoPP, LimeBike this week dispatched a ‘Ranger’ to retrieve their dumped bikes. The Ranger was also to conduct a thorough assessment of Pymmes Park which would include any other previously reported abandoned bikes in the surrounding area.

Pymmes Park falls within what LimeBike describes as a NPZ  ‘No Parking Zone’ for their bikes. Basically, anyone having a bike within that area will face a fine.  In order to manage this i.e. to ensure the ongoing maintenance and safety of Pymmes Park, LimeBike have agreed that there will now be a Ranger assigned to conduct weekly inspections of the Park in order to promptly remove any damaged and vandalised vehicles.’

This is an example of how FoPP works hard to keep our park a peaceful haven for local residents.
