New developments
Ensuring that developers provide plenty of convenient cycle parking will prevent future problems and appropriately value the contribution that cycling makes to the city
More pressure needs to be put on developers to meet the standards laid down in planning guidelines regarding cycle parking and there needs to be swifter and tougher enforcement against those who fail in this regard.
Adequate cycle parking needs to be included in every new development built in Cambridge. Many developers are failing in their duties to provide adequate cycle parking facilities with their sites and the planning authorities have sometimes done little to tackle this.
Many new developments planned for the city are not taking the provision of cycle parking seriously. Proposals are regularly being brought to the city council’s planning committee with insufficient cycle parking spaces, and occasionally with a reduction in the number of cycle parking spaces already there. For instance, the plans for expansion of the Lion Yard shopping centre include no shopper cycle parking, a disgraceful flouting of the City Council’s Cycle Parking Standards.
