"Westminster City Council plans to introduce a Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) from November 18, allowing fines and enforcement against pedicab riders for loud music, speeding, blocking pavements, or intimidating behaviour A consultation found 86 per cent of respondents backed the proposal, with most believing it would improve quality of life, though some wanted a full ban or preferred waiting for TfL's forthcoming licensing scheme"
"The order, which can be altered and extended for another three years, will allow police, council inspectors and Transport for London (TfL) enforcement officers to move pedicabs on and fine them 100 if they fail to comply. The order is supported by TfL, which is considering its own regulations. The PSPO would be aimed at rickshaw drivers playing loud music or sounding horns, speeding and cycling or parking on pavements."
Westminster City Council will implement a Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) from November 18 covering the borough for three years, with potential amendment and a further three-year extension. Police, council inspectors and Transport for London enforcement officers will be empowered to move pedicabs and fine riders £100 for non-compliance. The order targets loud music, horns, speeding, cycling or parking on pavements, threatening or intimidating behaviour, and groups of four or more pedicabs deemed obstructions. Pedicabs will be required to leave areas when asked. A June consultation found 86% of 202 respondents supported the proposal, though some sought a full ban or preferred waiting for TfL licensing under the Pedicabs (London) Act.
