Bike stand consultation in September

06/07/2010

FBM have been working with the Council to put more bike racks into the market area. Currently there aren't very many, but soon there could be bike racks all over the market area. We asked attendees at our workshop in May to plot on a map where they thought new racks could go and then Ben, FBM's chair, walked round the market with Suzy Harrison, Sustainable Transport Co-ordinator, and Richard Ambler, Cycle Programme Manager, to look at the potential sites. We identified around 10 new locations. The next step will be for Richard to consult with surrounding traders and customers to see if they approve. This will involve marking out the new locations and putting up signs to alert shoppers and businesses to the new development. We think this is scheduled to happen in September, so look out for them.
