Having considered the proposals, the responses
to the statutory consultation and officer comments,
• approved to proceed with Implementation of 28 new cycle
storage (cycle hangar) facilities at the proposed locations
detailed in Table 1 of section 6.
• approved not to proceed with the installations of Bike
hangars at the proposed location for Boyton Road N8, Gladwell Road,
N8 and New Road N8, for the reasons set out in section 4.6 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 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.

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 Council's
commitment to providing more secure cycle storage facilities (cycle
hangars) on the street for residents' use.
