| Jeremy, it is unfathomable for me to think Katherine is a true believer of these policies. She destroyed them. She didn't fight. She didn't defend. She didn't innovate. She didn't lead. She bulldozed. That's it. Bulldozed. Without a care as to the impact to her constituents. Didn't consider truncated rides???? The only ones benefiting from this new Lime policy are those from OUTSIDE the borough. She failed everyone INSIDE the borough. The ones she has been elected to represent. That's an epic fail. We're not paying her to help others. We're paying her to help and represent us. And she has not. I also believe it will cost us more as pressure mounts on Hounslow Highways to remove any offending vehicle (assuming they will which is not to discredit them). So what? The increase in revenue from Forest goes out the window and then some to collect Lime bikes that can't be hired? That's as stupid as stupid gets. I've always advocated for docking stations. Was accused of being anti-cyclist for it (go figure). That was prior to the arrival of e-bikes. At this point I think docking is outdated unless a large swath of space is dedicated for that purpose. Hammersmith has something under the flyover. Not the best example. But something like it. In my view, it could and should be part of a parking structure if Sainsbury's redeveloped. Dedicate an entire floor to centralized bike parking and divvy it up per vendor so all can service the borough. Win/Win. E-bikes. E-cars. Scooters. Cars. Vans. Charging stations. Gardens. That's what a modern car park looks like. But without user and vendor accountability with appropriate metrics and reporting we will only ever have the mess that Katherine Dunne created. She would be a miserable leader and the council would be worse off for it. An example of Labour's continued cluelessness: Hanif Khan being re-selected for the next election. Need we scrape the barrel? |
