Decision details

To report on the feedback of statutory consultation carried out from to 13 July 2022 to 3 August 2022, on the proposal to introduce 15 cycle hangars at various locations in the borough.

Decision Maker: Head of Highways and Parking

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Decision:

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

Reasons for the decision:

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 lack of storage space. The council therefore has a rolling programme to provide more secure cycle storage (cycle hangars) on street for residents' use.

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

Alternative options considered:

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 Councils
commitment to provide more secure cycle storage facilities (cycle hangars) on street for residents' use.
