Traffic Order S372 - Ladbroke Crescent

Overview

The Council has received requests from residents 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 consists of two parts:

A) Conversion of two metres (6ft) of single yellow line (hours of control Monday to Friday 8.30am to 6.30pm and Saturday 8.30am to 1.30pm) to a cycle hangar bay outside the flank wall of 129 Ladbroke Grove, situated in Ladbroke Crescent.

B) Conversion of one metre (3ft) of residents’ parking to a cycle hangar bay outside the flank wall of 129 Ladbroke Grove, situated in Ladbroke Crescent.

Each on-street cycle hangar unit provides space for six residents’ bicycles. Similar bike hangar spaces in the borough are currently rentable at a cost of £72 per year and if this unit went ahead, the spaces would be available for rent on a first come, first served basis. 

Pictured above is an example of a cycle hangar. The design can differ depending on the outcome of procurement.  

Why your views matter

We are seeking your views on conversion of two metres (6ft) of single yellow line (hours of control Monday to Friday 8.30am to 6.30pm and Saturday 8.30am to 1.30pm) and conversion of one metre (3ft) of residents’ parking to a cycle hangar bay outside the flank wall of 129 Ladbroke Grove, situated in Ladbroke Crescent. This area will accommodate an on-street cycle hangar unit. Your comments will help us decide whether to proceed with the proposals as planned.

This section of residents’ parking is 72 metres (236ft) long with space for 14 cars. Reducing the bay by one metre (3ft) would leave 71 metres (233ft) and would still leave space for 14 cars.
