Cycle parking near home - Cleaner Greener Safer

[ellabrunswick]

If you want to cycle but can't because you have nowhere safe or accessible to keep a bike, you might be interested in Southwark Cyclists' new guide on how to get cycle parking http://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/cycle-parking-guide/

There are links to various websites where you can request cycle parking of various different kinds, from Sheffield stands - the usual U-shapes found on shopping streets - to individual lockers and the new 'breadbin' style hangars for six bikes. There's also some specific advice on proposing locations for cycle parking to the council's Cleaner Greener Safer scheme.

Several EDF people applied last year - and two were successful, in Heber and Ulverscroft Road, thanks to supportive councillors. The hangars haven't yet been installed - but they will be! The deadline this year is 7 November, and it's a very simple online form, so it's well worth applying if you have a good idea.

Just a reminder that the deadline is this Friday. Still time to apply with a good idea - for cycle parking or anything else that fits the cleaner, greener, safer description!
