Bike Hangar Expansion Meets Surging Demand Across Chiswick and Isleworth

Hounslow Council forges ahead with installing nine new bike hangars across the borough, addressing high demand.

The council plans to add nine new bike hangars, including four in Chiswick and four in Isleworth, to the existing 23. With 462 people on the waiting list, funding of £70,000 from the Greater London Authority aids the project, with an expected cost of £45,000.

The consultation process involved 66 responses, with sites chosen based on limited cycle parking access and high demand. Each hangar, accommodating six bikes, can be rented for £36 annually plus a key deposit. Despite objections in some areas, the council emphasizes the need to cater to growing demand for bike storage.
