Southwark meets 500 hangar target and commits to doubling it

Southwark has installed over 100 cycle hangars in the past three months, bringing the total to 512 – that’s over 3000 spaces for cycle storage in the borough. But we’re not resting there – the council recently approved £2.5 million spending to install a further 500 hangars .

This underscores the council’s commitment to active travel – walking and cycling – as key parts of its strategy to address the climate emergency, improve air quality and encourage healthier lifestyles.

Thank you once again to everyone who has registered their views on this Commonplace map – we review your contributions regularly and use the most popular locations to guide our programme of hangar installations.

Please continue to encourage your friends, colleagues and neighbours to register their suggestions – and don’t be disheartened if we haven’t reached your location yet – with another 500 hangars on the way there’s sure to be one near you soon.
