Well-used Station cycle stands to be replaced by shops!

If current plans go ahead for repaving of the Nottingham Station forecourt (Porte Cochere) these well-used cycle stands will disappear next year and be replaced by shops or even a restaurant!

Pedals is protesting strongly at the loss of this well-used facility, probably the best used group of cycle stands in Nottingham, and the present plan to relocate them in the Milk Dock area on the north sided of the Station, a much less convenient location and one that many users will also find less safe to use, particularly after dark.

These plans form the first phase of the major redevelopment of the Station due to take place over the next few years.

Pedals wants to see improved cycle parking and improved cycle access feature much more prominently in this welcome major redevelopment, to help ease the growing traffic problems that could arise from this and the generally very welcome major increase in rail passengers.
