Outrage in Brighton at this cycle hangar (with space for six bikes) taking up two permit holder car parking spaces has led the council to investigate... cycling
In response to a question from road.cc, Brighton & Hove City Council confirmed it is"investigating" and is"aware of concerns" from residents.
"Since then we have installed 40 more, and all but one of the total of 360 spaces have now been snapped up. This means that 359 residents now have somewhere safe and secure to store their cycles. However, not everyone shared Cllr Davis' enthusiasm for the scheme, another resident telling the Argus — despite the roaring demand and growing waiting list — the hangars are"unnecessary" and"take up paid parking spaces on the streets".
The council states on its website that some car parking spaces"may be repurposed to accommodate cycle hangars" which are rented by residents for three, six or 12 months at a time at a cost of"around £1 a week per cycle space".
