they are not a council, they are a private corporation.
Therefore they are scared stiff of being sued for public liability.
We've been doing lots of projects with the Space Hijackers about exactly this, and how an influx of private corporations running our cities means that all risk is taken out, and outsiders (such as homeless or in this case cycling hipsters) are pushed out of the way by security.

I'm afraid short of offering to sign waivers to say we won't sue, there's not much we can do, and they seem to be more afraid of us hitting cars anyway so I doubt there is anything we can do to make them budge.
we'll just have to find a new neighbour free spot and bribe any security again.
