Why can’t secure cycle lockers be placed at all rail stations and in the city centre?
One reason lockers are not provided in the city centre is lack of available space. The other main reason is management and maintenance. At railway stations we have found that if lockers are not managed, i.e. kept locked with keys issued to known individuals, they quickly become misused and vandalised. Other lockers at staffed or unstaffed rail stations have been subject to theft and vandalism, and repair costs have been considerable. Our current approach is to ensure private, secure cycle parking is provided at all new buildings in the city.
