Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether the next tranche of repair vouchers under the Fix Your Bike scheme are planned to be released before the expiration of the existing covid-19 restrictions.
The second tranche of Fix Your Bike cycle repair vouchers was released on Monday 16 November. Bike shops are classified as essential businesses and allowed to remain open because many key workers and others rely on their bikes to make essential journeys. For those for whom the repair is less urgent, the vouchers have a 60-day expiry period, so that people can book their bike in for a service after the current covid-19 restrictions are lifted.
