The assessment supports installing up to 150 secure cycle hangars across Brighton and Hove to improve cycle storage, encourage active travel and reduce bike theft. It identifies potential impacts from replacing vehicle parking spaces and user fees, with consultation, accessibility measures and possible future fee reviews proposed to mitigate them.

Recommendation

Proceed with the cycle hangars project, prioritising locations using an evidence-based matrix, consulting residents through Traffic Regulation Orders where required, engaging disabled groups, providing accessible documentation and reviewing the impact of user fees.

Financial impact

Funding has been secured for an initial rollout of 100 cycle hangars, subsequently extended to 150, but no budget amount is stated.
