Councillor says workers told to call police in event of “trouble” over Brighton & Hove bike hangars City council accused of being “inappropriate and unhelpful” towards people questioning contractors cycling
Brighton & Hove City Council is said to be advising contractors installing bike hangars in the south coast city to call police should they be challenged by members of the public while going about their work – with the Labour councillor who raised the issue describing it as “inappropriate and unhelpful to threaten” residents raising concerns over how money is being spent.
The city has been administered since 2020 by the Green Party, who have 20 of the 55 seats, which insists that there has been every opportunity for the introduction of the hangars to be debated. “Those of us who serve on transport committee are well used to debating controversial issues and we do our best to scrutinise and improve any such policies before us. Financial, legal and equalities issues are all within our remit.
According to Councillor Allcock, the contractors showed the residents an email from the council that said they should call police “if there was any trouble.”
