Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to improve access to secure residential cycle parking.

As a statutory consultee, Active Travel England makes recommendations for the provision of cycle parking in line with the standards set out in Local Transport Note 1/20 in developments it is consulted on. In particular, Table 11-1 establishes minimum quantum standards based on different land uses, while chapter 11 in its entirety sets out good design principles to ensure that new cycle parking is secure and convenient.

It is for local authorities to decide on appropriate cycle parking provision that would best serve the needs of their local communities.
