Cycle Hire was delayed until next month because councils refused planning permission

Says Adam Bienkov
The scheme was meant to begin in May but has been pushed back after 75 of the 498 applications were blocked by individual councils.
It will now open next month but the Mayor admits that some stations will still not be completed before the launch.
Cycle Hire begins, allegedly, sources say, 30 July.
