Decision details

To approve recommendations as set out in Section 3 of this report.

Encouraging more people to cycle is an important part of the central Government and Haringey council policy to tackle traffic congestion, improve air quality, promote physical activity, and improve accessibility. However, many residents, particularly those who live in flats, find it difficult to keep bicycles at home due to a lack of storage space. The Council, therefore, has a rolling programme to provide more secure cycle storage (cycle hangars) on the street for residents' use.

As part of this year's cycle parking programme, we are proposing to install cycle hangars at various locations in the borough listed. Locations for proposed cycle hangars have been progressed based on requests received from residents.

An alternative considered was to 'not' undertake the requested introduction of new cycle hangers. However, this is not recommended as it would be against the Council's commitment to providing more secure cycle storage facilities (cycle hangars) on the street for residents' use.
