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:

1.1 the implementation of 21 new cycle storage (cycle hangar)
facilities at the proposed locations detailed in Table 1 of section
6.
1.2 the total estimated implementation cost of £94k 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.

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.
No objections were received to the 21 proposed cycle hangars
contained within this report. We are there for seeking approval
under delegated authority from the Head of Service for Highways and
Parking to proceed with implementation of the proposed 21 cycle
hangars

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.
