Growing Network of Virtual Loading Bays

7th October 2024 / Posted by Katherine Fairfax

Cross River Partnership have been out with the team at Grid Smarter Cities engaging with businesses across London to showcase the benefits of registering to join the free Virtual Loading Bay Trial 

Virtual Loading Bays are dedicated spaces at the kerbside that can be pre-booked by participating operators to load and unload goods using the Grid Kerb booking platform. VLBs aim to make deliveries more efficient, sustainable and improve congestion and air quality in the local area.  

We have been out talking to businesses about the Virtual Loading Bays being trialled in the following locations: 

  • City of London Corporation 
  • London Borough of Camden  
  • London Borough of Lambeth 
  • London Borough of Richmond  

The Virtual Loading Bays form part of CRP’s Defra-funded Kerbside Management Trial and are being delivered in partnership between Grid Smarter Cities, City of London Corporation, London Borough of Camden, London Borough of Lambeth, London Borough of Richmond
