Traffic Order S334 - St Michael's Gardens
Overview
Following a request from residents, the Council has approved a Neighbourhood Community Infrastructure Levy bid for secure cycle parking. Residents living in flats experience particular difficulty storing bicycles at home and much existing cycle parking on-street does not offer high levels of security. The proposal is to introduce one secure cycle hangar unit at the westernmost end of the residents’ bay outside the flank wall of No. 218 Ladbroke Grove, situated on St Michael’s Gardens.
Each on-street cycle hangar unit provides space for six residents’ bicycles. The spaces are rentable at a cost of £72 per year and would be available for rent on a first come, first served basis.

Why your views matter
We are seeking your views on conversion of three metres (10ft) of residents’ parking to cycle hangar bay at the westernmost end of the residents’ bay outside the flank wall of No. 218 Ladbroke Grove, situated on St Michael’s Gardens. This area will accommodate an on-street cycle hangar unit. Your comments will help us decide whether to proceed with the proposals as planned.
The section of residents’ parking is approximately 54 metres (177ft) long, with enough space for 11 cars. Shortening the bay by 3 metres (10ft) would leave 51 metres (167ft) remaining which would still allow parking for 10 cars.
The highest occupancy level in the most recent occupancy survey in September 2018, was the weekday evening occupancy, of 90 per cent which equates to 10 out of 11 spaces occupied, and 1 space free. Therefore, the loss of one residents’ parking space should not adversely affect residents’ ability to park near their home.
