The Open University is fully aware of the dangers associated with the storage of e-bikes and e-scooters. We will keep our procedures and precautions in place thereby reducing and preventing the dangers and risk of harm to the staff, students and public.

Thursday 22nd May for Berrill Visitors’ Car Park. (People who need to park in the accessible spaces will still be accommodated.)
