They aren't exactly pretty, but then staring out at a battered old van isn't necessarily any better (although I agree I wouldn't want it right outside my front door).


I've seen some of the Lambeth ones have had trees planted either side which makes them look more appealing (see: http://www.cyclehoop.com/product/cycle-shelters-and-canopies/bike-hangar/ )


Over all though, they've got to be a good thing.

We're trying to get them placed outside people who have requested them.

Lambeth now has over 150 of these installed. Southwark is aiming for another 89 to add to 11. With the right scale this could become a strategic transport project and that is the angle I've taken with council officials.


With regard to attractiveness. Lambeth in some cases have bookened them with street streets in the road. Seems a great way of doing it.

You're lucky, to the best of my knowledge all we have in Ulverscroft Road so far is a barrier which has been leaning against a wall for ages with a scrappy bit of paper on saying the space is reserved for a bike hangar.


Which is rather frustrating when I've been waiting for it for around two years now and getting older and older :))

Well that's is fine if you are happy to have it placed directly outside your house.. where you normally park your car.

      Vet recommendation

      By NewWave · Posted

      I don't know how it works now but my late parents had little money when they were retired (just state pension and they rented their flat) and they used to take their cat to the Blue Cross (In Victoria if I remember correctly) where treatment was free for those who could'nt afford a private vet. I sincerely hope similar is available still because for many elderly their pet is their main source of comfort and company.

      Be careful in local shops

      In a couple of places locally, I have come across this. I am fairly sure that they attempt to do the bill in their head. If you just say , “no, I think it’s x” they start again and get to an agreeable number, or find a calculator. I don’t think it’s a malicious attempt to swindle people. Just not great arithmetic.

      There are excellent charities like the Greenwich Wildlife Network who will help if you report any concerns with local wildlife. Foxes are wonderful creatures who had been forced into our town and cities and are just doing their best to survive, we should take care of them when we can.
