Bike "clean up" around Senate House / SOAS / Birkbeck, University of London 6th June

Your friendly Senate House Library systems librarian here. This week I noticed signs posted on sheffield stands around Senate House, University of London that security here are planning on doing a "clean up" of any bikes left by their owners from 6th June.

The sign says they'll remove any bikes that have been left for more than 48 hours from 6th June and that this applies around the campus precinct. I tried to find out from security what exactly this means but the guys on the desk didn't really know so my guesswork is below...

There are definitely signs on sheffield stands at Thornhaugh Street (outside SOAS), Torrington Square (outside Birkbeck) and on Malet Street (directly outside Senate House). I would say move your bike if it's been locked up for a while at any of the pedestrianised streets around this area.

Note this is being done by the central University of London a.k.a Senate House, not SOAS, Birkbeck or any of the other federal colleges nearby. You can contact security to ask "I'm in Peru for a month, please don't bolt crop my fixie skidder" on: 020 7862 8132

Here's a map:

guess they want stuff moved before summer so fresh railings for all in september?

Expect they are obliged to keep said bikes for so long before disposing of them? There could be a few students abroad and not know about it, come back and ..... uhoh.
