Existing cycle parking facilities at Newbury Station are sub-standard and need to be replaced and expanded. Poor design and inadequate security makes bikes easy targets for thieves and results in damage to wheels.
There has been a spate of thefts and vandalism in recent months, which is discouraging people from leaving their bikes at the station. West Berkshire Spokes are therefore leading the campaign for facilities to be improved.
To First Great Western:
We the undersigned request that the existing cycle parking at Newbury Station be replaced with new facilities designed in accordance with current guidance and best practice.
New facilities should be provided on the north and south sides of the station. These should be secure and covered and should provide significant additional capacity compared with the existing facilities to cater for anticipated growth in numbers of cyclists using the station in the future.
New cycle parking would help to reduce the number of incidents of theft and vandalism that have taken place and would help to encourage more people to cycle to and from the station.
