Agenda item

• Cycle Hub – invite to view
• Cycle Training (Bikeability)
• Cycle Hire – updates and data
• Cycling Delivery Plan – Expression of Interest

The Transport team extended an invitation to the LAF to see the Cycle Hub prior to its official opening and JW would arrange a suitable date and time.  JW tabled the internal layout drawings for the Cycle Hub and referred members to the report on page 25. 

There is a cost attached to the secure cycle parking and the workshop area is just for the servicing of the cycle hire bikes.  Members thought it might be beneficial to have part of the space available for people to be able to repair their own bikes or have a bike serviced while at work.

Members discussed the weekly cycle hire figures which are continually updated.  IH thought that average hires per day was the most significant statistic and wanted to know what targets were set for the project at the outset and are these being met? How many hire bikes were initially bought?  Cllr Parmar noted that a docking station in Colnbrook could be beneficial.

Members agreed that where docking stations are installed there must be sufficient safe cycling infrastructure/routes in the vicinity.  JW said that initially the cycle hire scheme was commuter driven focussing on people coming into the borough, however the Forum felt that this should now be expanded to include recreational/leisure cycling inside the borough.

JW would ask an officer from integrated transport to the next LAF meeting. 

Members were asked urgently to look at the New Cycling Map and feedback any errors, changes, gaps to JW for the production of an updated version.

Resolved – JW to invite a Transport Officer to the next meeting and arrange Cycle Hub evening visit.  Members to feedback comments on the Cycle Map to JW asap.
