‘I counted 23 Lime hire bikes not parked in designated spaces’

• FURTHER to your report (Electric hire bike hackers at work as Lime bikes are left all over the pavements, February 2), on a short walk between Russell Square and Tottenham Court Road I counted 23 Lime hire bikes not parked in designated spaces. Also 20 plus Lime bikes parked in a corner of Woburn Square. Is this permitted?
