Decision details

Having considered the proposals, the responses to the statutory consultation and officer comments, and having due regard to the needs set out in Section 149 (public sector equality duty) of the Equality Act 2010, approve:

(1) the implementation of 13 new cycle storage (cycle hangar) facilities at the proposed locations detailed in Table 1 of section 6.
(2) the total estimated implementation cost of £62,75.00 which includes consultation, inventory survey, design, traffic management orders, supply, and installation of the cycle hangars. This is from the £487k approved budget for the implementation of the Cycle Parking Programme for year 2024/2025.

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.
