Lambeth Council will install cycle hangers in our streets where there is a demand, but we understand from a local resident that there is a two year waiting list and that Council residents in blocks of flats have been advised that communal spaces in flats can no longer be used to store bikes etc.

Given the increased interest in cycling caused by the current pandemic, there is an increasing need for local residents to have access to secure cycle storage where they do not have anywhere in their home. Council cycle hangers will accommodate six bicycles (taking up the space of half a car) and cost £3:50 per month (£42 p.a.) to rent. Residents wanting a cycle hanger near their home should register their interest with Lambeth – its  a simple form taking only a few minutes to complete.

The current location map for cycle hangers shows our area would benefit from more installations.  Like electric car charging points and car club bays, there will be a latent demand that will only become apparent when the cycle hangers are actually provided. We will lobby local councillors accordingly. You could also contact your local councillors on issue (see under Democracy here to find contact info.).
