Following the success of the nextbike cycle hire scheme in Cardiff, the Vale council received requests for a similar system.

In response to this, nextbike will now implement the project in Penarth town. The organisation will install 50 electric bikes across several docking stations.

Whilst potential locations have been identified, the council are inviting residents to give their suggestions. Locations must meet the following criteria in order to be considered:

• Close to popular destinations such as existing transport links, job centres, supermarkets and other shops

• Have a high footfall

• Have enough space to allow safe movement of pedestrians and people with limited mobility

• Monitored by CCTV

Final decisions will be made based on the above criteria, as well as the ability to source power to the locations, which will be determined by power providers.
