Results of Cycle Parking Survey Published

Chester Cycling Campaign has completed an extensive survey of cycle parking facilities in and around the city. This is has been a thorough survey conducted by a team of Campaign members who have logged the details of every cycle rack they could find, including the location, the type of racks and the number of racks.

In addition, while volunteers have been auditing what is already available, they have also been listing places where they feel additional cycle parking should be installed. The results of all of this work have now been published in the two reports below. The reports show that while some areas have adequate provision, other parts of the ciy have woeful provision, the Greyhound Retail Park being one notorious example.

Have a look at the reports and let us know if you spot any gaps. We want the information held in the database to be as complete as possible, as the data is to be fed into the CDT planning process.

Suggest a Bike Rack Location

Ever cycled to your destination and found that there was no where to secure your bike? If cycling levels are to increase, then it needs to be made as easy as possible for people to leave their bikes safely and securely while they go about their business.

The Cycle Demonstration Town project may be able to make grants to businesses and other organisations for the installation of bike racks.

The Chester Cycling Campaign is currently carrying out an audit of existing locations so that these can be mapped. The next step will be to identify locations that might benefit from new or additional racks.

If you have any ideas of good locations for bike racks, then please leave a comment here and we will ensure that your suggestions are passed on the the CDT team.

Thanks!
