Traffic Order S351 - Stafford Terrace

Overview

The Council has received requests from residents for an on-street cycle hangar unit in Stafford Terrace. 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 outside the flank wall of 14 Argyll Road, situated in Stafford Terrace, 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. 208) to a cycle hangar bay outside the flank wall of 14 Argyll Road, situated in Stafford Terrace. 

2. Conversion of two metres (7ft) of Car Club bay (No. 208) to Pay-by-phone visitor parking (hours of control Monday to Saturday 8.30am to 6.30pm, maximum stay 4 hours) outside the flank wall of 14 Argyll Road, situated in Stafford Terrace.  This will be redistributed between the two Pay-by-phone visitor parking bays outside the flank wall of 14 Argyll Road situated in Stafford Terrace, to increase the size of those bays.

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 the rest of the Car Club bay would be converted to Pay-by-phone visitor parking which will be redistributed between the two Pay-by-phone visitor parking bays outside the flank wall of 14 Argyll Road situated in Stafford Terrace, to increase the size of those bays.
