Traffic Order S345 - Bramham Gardens

Overview

The Council has received further requests from residents for an on-street cycle hangar unit in Bramham Gardens, where the existing cycle hangar has a large waiting list. 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 beside the existing unit in Bramham Gardens, reusing a Car Club bay that is no longer required by the operator.

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 reusing a Car Club bay (measuring 5 metres (16ft)) that is no longer required. The proposal has two components:

1. Conversion of three metres (10ft) of Car Club bay (No. 234) to a cycle hangar bay outside the flank wall of 27 Bramham Gardens, situated in Bramham Gardens. 

2. Conversion of two metres (7ft) of Car Club bay (No. 234) to single yellow line (hours of control Monday to Saturday 8.30am to 6.30pm) outside the flank wall of 27 Bramham Gardens, situated in Bramham Gardens. 

Your comments will help us decide whether to proceed with the proposals as planned.

The cycle hangar would replace an existing Car Club Bay, which is no longer needed by the scheme operator, measuring five metres in length.  The cycle hangar requires three metres of space and so the second half of this proposal converts the remaining two metres of bay to single yellow line.
