We’ve launched a joint #ChargeSafe campaign with London Fire Brigade to raise awareness about the dangers of e-bike and e-scooter charging. We are finding and destroying unsafe batteries, and the Council has halved the number of e-bike battery related fires in the borough by 50%.
Do you own or are thinking about getting an E-bike or E-scooter. ⚡️
