Revolve24 success
Many congratulations to Team GreenWay for a fantastic result at Revolve24 this weekend. The team, including riders from Entran and Sol Environment, came 7th out of the 50 four-man teams and 10th overall out of 172 teams of all sizes.
The four-man GreenWay team cycled 200 laps of the Brands Hatch circuit in 24 hours which equates to 487 miles and 41,800ft of climbing (they had climbed Everest after 15 hours). Brands Hatch is not flat!
A fantastic effort from all, and the icing on the cake was beating Jason Kenny's team. Good work!

Planning permission in Newham
LB Newham resolved to grant planning permission last night for Aitch Group's proposed residential development in Forest Gate. The scheme, on Earlham Grove, comprises 78 units and is car-free except for disabled parking and an on-street Car Club space. Entran's suite of transport documents, supported by a full Parking Stress Survey secured a positive recommendation from the highway authority. We are delighted with this result.

oBike's sharing scheme is coming to London to take on the Boris Bike
From this week, a startup from Singapore is becoming the first 'dockless' bike sharing company to launch its cycles in London. In total 400 oBikes have been placed in Tower Hamlets.
Like other bike-sharing schemes, the system allows riders to find, rent, and pay for bikes through a smartphone app. Each 30-minute ride costs 50p plus a refundable deposit of £49, and the bike is unlocked by scanning a QR code printed on its frame

Brownlee brothers
As keen triathletes (well, we did one in 2011 - scroll way down the news items!) we were pleased to see the Brownlee brothers achieve first and second in the ITU World Triathlon Series in their home town of Leeds yesterday, proudly sponsored by Aldi.

Can S106 be used to restrict residents' parking permits?
The Court of Appeal has agreed with a High Court judgement* that S106 of the T&C Planning Act 1990 cannot be used to preclude residents of new developments from applying for parking permits. They ruled that this was not a planning obligation under the Act, as Section 106 is concerned with “the land” in which a person has a legal interest.
