Cycling is an important mode of sustainable transport – it can improve health and well-being, and at the same time help reduce traffic congestion and improve air quality. Being able to park bikes safely and conveniently plays a vital role in whether people have the choice to cycle. Installing cycle hangars on residential roads, which can provide secure and easy to use storage for up to six bikes, could lead to an increase in the number of journeys made by bicycle.
Funding has been secured from central Government’s Active Travel Fund to install 80 new cycle hangars across the region (approximately 20 in BANES).
Working in partnership with your local council and councillors, West of England Combined Authority is launching a four-week public consultation to invite people to tell them where they would like to have a cycle hangar.
The consultation will between Monday 2 October and Sunday 29 October 2023 at https://cyclehangarswest.co.uk/
