Phase 4 consultation is now closed, and the outcome of the consultation is detailed below.

Phase Four hire bike bay consultation outcome

In November 2025, we wrote to residents in the community with details on how to provide feedback on 115 proposed hire bike parking bay locations as part of a statutory consultation, including public consultation.

We have carefully considered all feedback received during the consultation and will be progressing with 82 of the proposed hire bike bays, including two amendments to an existing bay, under a permanent Traffic Management Order (TMO).

The ‘Phase Four Consultation Outcome’ document can be found under ‘Useful Documents’ on the right-hand side of this page and outlines which hire bike parking bays will be implemented (with or without amendments) and which bays will not progress at this time. As there is demand for hire bike parking in the areas identified for consultation, we will revisit these locations during the subsequent phases of the hire bike parking bay implementation programme to identify specific sites that can support hire bike parking.


Next steps

Implementation of Phase Four bays

Works to deliver 82 Phase Four bays will take place from late February 2026. Delivery of the bays will be ordered by area and is expected to conclude in March 2026, barring any unforeseen circumstances.

These dates will be worked to as closely as possible but may be subject to slight change.

Impact of the upcoming works

Converting the existing car parking bays to designated hire bike parking bays will require the introduction of new markings on the road and the installation of bollards to mark the border of the bay.

There will be no traffic restrictions as a result of the works. You will be able to access your property and receive deliveries and visitors by vehicle as usual.

Phase Five of Hire Bike Parking

The council will aim to implement further phases of hire bike parking bays in Autumn 2026 to reach our objective of over 300 bays. Each phase will include a statutory consultation, including public consultation and residents will be notified by letter in advance of the consultation if a bay is proposed in their area.

Once the statutory consultation is underway, the ‘Plans and Proposals’ section on the right-hand side of this webpage will be updated with the next phase of proposed hire bike bay locations.



About the Hire Bike Bay programme

As part of our commitment to making Islington a greener and healthier place, we are working to improve the environment in Islington by improving air quality and promoting the benefits of physical activity through measures to increase walking and cycling, ensuring that everyone in the borough has the same opportunity to access transport.

Dockless hire bikes provide a flexible, healthy and affordable travel option for people living, working and visiting Islington and we have seen a significant increase in the use of dockless hire bikes in the borough in recent years. We want to make it easier for people to use environmentally friendly, healthy transport options, while keeping our roads and pavements welcoming and accessible for all people who walk, cycle and use buggies or wheelchairs.

The continued implementation of designated hire bike parking bays supports our efforts for a more equal borough. By repurposing existing vehicle parking bays, we are providing dedicated parking spaces for hire bikes which will help keep pavements clear of obstructions and support hire bike operators to better enforce appropriate parking.

We are currently delivering designated hire bike parking bays across the borough in phases. The council delivered a pilot programme of 10 hire bike parking bays in February 2024. Following this, an additional 78 bays were installed in December 2024 to January 2025 in the south of the borough, 59 bays were implemented in July 2025, primarily in the middle of the borough and in October 2025 a further 57 bays were implemented in the third phase. You can view the outcome of the Phase One,Two and Three consultations under the ‘Useful Documents’ heading on the right-hand side of the page.


Proposals for new hire bike bays

Between August 2023 and December 2025 Islington Council has held five public consultations on designated hire bike parking bays, including a pilot consultation on ten bays.

The council is committed to implementing a borough-wide network of over 300 designated hire bike parking bays. We will continue to deliver bays across the borough in phases. Delivering this network will require repurposing some on-road vehicle parking bays into hire bike parking bays. Each 5-metre parking bay will hold space for up to ten hire bikes.

Phase 4 consultation is now closed, and the outcome of the consultation is detailed below.
