Secure Cycle Storage Facilities
Aberdeen City CouncilProvision of safe and secure long-stay cycle storage
Resolve health and safety concerns regarding storage of bicycles within communal areas/stairwells
Increase the accessibility of cycling for all purposes
Reduce the impact of transport poverty on low-income households
This proposal is to install up to a further 6 secure bicycle storage units adjacent to high rise multi-storey housing blocks, in areas of high deprivation (according to SIMD) (Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation)) within Aberdeen City. These cycle storage units will be located upon land which forms part of Aberdeen City Council’s Housing account.
It is intended that tenants will have to apply for one or more spaces within a storage unit to store their bicycles. The access door into the storage unit will be secured via a combination code to ensure that only legitimate users have access to them.
