Persistent parking offenders could have their cycles seized as part of
City Councils crackdown.

Cyclists who consistently break rules or block access could have their
cycles removed and immobilised under the new rules.

Councils could sign an executive order which gives the council the power
to remove cycles and keep them in a secure compound until a release fee
is paid.

Councillors said: “We made a commitment to step up parking enforcement
and these new proposals will help us to keep roads and pavements safe by
providing greater powers to address hazards and obstructions caused by a
small minority of inconsiderate cyclists.

“This will greatly help us to ensure cyclists do not accrue unpaid or
unchallenged parking fines going forward, whilst helping us seek to
recover unpaid and unchallenged fines where recovery has not been possible.

"I’m delighted that we have these new powers and I hope that those who
do flout the law see this as a warning that we won’t hesitate to seize
their cycles.”

A statement says: "Similarly, as the cities prepare to deliver a
programme of world class events, risks remain that cycles parked in
contravention to orders for authorised events may adversely affect
events and/or cause security concerns.

"The new powers also mean Councils can remove any cycles that are
preventing or restricting works or authorised events."
