Glasgow City Council has launched a feasibility study to assess opinion on its plans to introduce new secure covered on-street cycle parking for residents of the city.

The provision of such parking, the council feel, will help remove one of the major barriers to the uptake of cycling, namely the ability to conveniently and securely store a bike.

In the first instance, the council are looking to provide facilities at 50 locations across the city.

And in doing so they will prioritise those areas of Glasgow where housing includes tower blocks, flats and tenement properties.

The consultation page can be used by individuals and by organisations (such as community councils or housing associations) to suggest locations.

Provision of the units will result in the requirement for maintenance which will have an ongoing cost. For this reason, a cost would be levied for the use of the shelters.

Whilst this cost has not been finalised, the council estimates that this would be around £1.50 per week.
