We are pleased to share that we’ll soon have new bike sheds installed at Seven Sisters, for residents to use to safely store their bikes in the neighbourhood.
The new bike sheds are expected to take 5 –7 weeks to put in place. This follows on from the works to the existing bike storage in 2025 to fix damage caused by arson and install new metal enclosures.

Charge Safe
London Fire Brigade e-bike and e-scooter safety advice
On average there is a fire from a lithium battery in an e-bike or e-scooter every two days in London.
Whilst e-bikes and e-scooters offer a great way round the city, if the batteries become damaged or begin to fail they can start incredibly ferocious fires within seconds.
The majority of fires related to e-bikes and escooter have happened in homes. These fires are often caused when charging batteries.
When these batteries are charged in communal areas or escape routes, a fire breaking out can quickly block people’s ability to escape.
Many of these fires are caused by incompatible chargers, modifications to e-bikes, or faulty or counterfeit products which are purchased online. This includes chargers, lithium batteries and conversion kits for e-bikes.
London Fire Brigade’s #ChargeSafe campaign wants to prevent fires in e-bikes and escooters.
Please visit their website to find out important and simple safety tips to reduce the risk of fire to protect you and your community. london-fire.gov.uk/safety/lithiumbatteries
