Reasons for the decision:

To provide the users of the Metrolink and surrounding amenities with safe cycling parking for people who want to cycle. By removing the existing barriers, the proposed works will promote sustainable modes of travel.

Alternative options considered:

Installation of Sheffield stand cycle parking: Another option would be to install cycle parking without any shelter. Although this provides a facility for people to lock their bikes, due to not having any shelter they are not protected against direct sunlight or rain, resulting in wet seats and damage to the bikes over time. The opportunity to make improvements to address the concerns above will improve the amenities and facilities for the local community & provide a safe cycle parking facility.
