Hundreds more bike storage units planned in Wandsworth residential streets
A list of 74 residential streets across Wandsworth should get a total of 111 bike hangars installed.
The list has been drawn up following requests from local residents and will now be the subject of a consultation process in the next few days.
Each hangar would have room to safely store six bikes – providing spaces for almost 670 bicycles.
If all are approved they would bring the total number of bike hangar locations available in Wandsworth to almost 170.
There are already 21 residential streets with bike hangars, plus another three dozen on the borough’s housing estates. Most new private housing developments are also required to provide their residents with secure bike storage, to get planning consent.
The latest round of proposed locations are as follows. Some locations are set to have more than one hangar installed.
