Apply now! Grants of £2,500 towards cargo bikes

Businesses can now apply for one of 24 grants of up to £2,500 towards the cost of a cargo bike, helping to cut transport costs and improve air quality in the borough. 

The Zero Emissions Network (ZEN) operates the cargo bike grant project, an award-winning initiative that helps businesses save money, reduce emissions, and improve local air quality. It recently expanded to Newham after helping nearly 100 businesses including electricians, florists, and hairdressers, in adopting cargo bikes and e-bikes for their transportation needs.

Applications are open until 1 September.
