Cycle Parking

The population of Enfield is predicted to grow significantly in the coming years. Our road network is already suffering congestion and more car use will create further difficulties. The Council has declared a climate emergency with a task force established to help tackle the issues around climate change and the environment. There are also concerns over health in the community. Therefore, one of the key strands of the Health & Wellbeing strategy is to enable people to be more active.

For all these reasons, Enfield Council is committed to enabling higher levels of active travel (walking and cycling). Part of our Journeys and Places programme is creating safe cycle routes. However, this work needs to be complemented with other initiatives, such as providing secure cycle parking in residential areas, town centres, transport hubs and other key destinations.

A lack of appropriate cycle parking facilities is cited as a barrier to cycling and cycle ownership, and could be a constraint on the future growth of cycling. Much of the borough's housing stock does not provide enough space or access to a garden for people to store bikes, which prevents them from cycling.

Bike hangars are a secure and weatherproof on-street cycle parking solution that take up 2.5 metres on the carriageway. Bike hangars have 6 spaces which are rentable on a yearly basis. See here for information on how to apply.

We also welcome suggestions from residents for new cycle parking facilities including cycle stands, residential bike hangars and estate bike hangars. Submit your request via the Request New Cycle Parking form below.

The secure cycle parking programme is funded by Transport for London (TfL) to meet the objectives of the Mayor of London's Transport Strategy by increasing cycle parking provision across the Borough.

    The London Borough of Enfield is becoming involved in a TfL-wide contract starting in 2025. This contract focuses on rented e-bikes and scooters. At the same time, Enfield is setting up Micro-Mobility bays across the borough. They are starting with locations in the south of the A406. This will help support the ongoing needs of the London Borough of Haringey until their contract ends in 2025.

    Enfield's plans for healthier streets, in line with the Mayor's Transport Strategy, include improving cycle parking. Setting up these bays on public streets needs approval from the highway authority. The main goal of this project is to make renting cycles and scooters as easy as parking a car.

    The Micro-Mobility Bay is a smart solution for quickly converting road space into bike parking. It provides either six or twelve protected spaces, fitting neatly into the same area as a regular car parking bay. This helps keep streets tidy by reducing random bike parking against railings and other street fixtures.

    These bays work well for both regular bikes and rental schemes without fixed docking stations. They are built in a modular way, so they can be set up as compact six-space units or larger installations with mixed uses.

    When not in use, the bays blend into the surroundings, but when bikes are parked, they help organise the area and reduce clutter. Reflective markings make sure everyone can see the boundaries, especially in low light.

    Locations for this financial year include:

    • Warwick Road N11
    • Pasteur Gardens N18
    • Lister Garden N18
    • Evesham Road N11
    • Wilbury Way N18
    • Princes Avenue N13
    • Ladysmith Road N18
    • Leyburn Road N18
    • Russell Road N13
    • Somerset Road N18

    The Council has received funding from Transport for London (TfL) to install 12 bike hangars this financial year. A site selection process has identified two of the 12 locations which require a permanent change to the resident permit bays on Russell Road N13 & The Limes Avenue N11, it is subject to installation based on statutory consultation. Subject to approval, Russell Road & The Limes Avenue is estimated to be installed in January 2025.

    The statutory consultation process for the bike hangar installation on Russell Road & The Limes Avenue has restarted. This is due to an error in the original consultation order TG52/1569, which contained the incorrect information of the proposed bike hangar on the enclosed plan.

    We apologise for any confusion this may have caused and are committed to ensuring that the correct information is provided moving forward. The revised consultation documents, including the corrected location plan, are now available for review on the project page at https://letstalk.enfield.gov.uk/cycleparking. Any objections or representations already received will be considered.

    Cycle parking is delivered by the Council's Journeys and Places programme that empowers people in Enfield to make sustainable choices for themselves, their community and our planet. Delivering secure cycle parking for residents is one of the ways we support more people to travel actively in Enfield.

    Persons desiring to object to the proposed Orders or make any other representations must do so by 24th November 2024. Any such objection or any representation must be in writing, quoting reference TG52/1575, and must state the grounds on which it is made.
