Notes unfavourable
national press coverage of the roll-out of the Council’s
cycle hangar scheme
Expresses concern over
the use of the Budget process, rather than a standard Officer
Report at Environment, Transport & Sustainability Committee, to
implement the scheme; thereby avoiding scrutiny of financial, legal
and equality issues and numerous other related
matters;
Expresses concern at
reports from residents that workers who installed the cycle hangars
were advised by council staff to “call the police immediately
if there was any trouble” in response to residents politely
sharing concerns;
Notes the lack of
consultation that has taken place with residents over hangar
locations; and
Therefore, resolves
to:
Calls for an Officer
Report detailing all elements of the cycle hangar scheme, to
include details of the exact criteria used to accept or decline
cycle hangar placements.
