New secure storage has been installed in an Arnold park to help cyclists travelling to the green space.

Six new high security, steel bike lockers have now been put into place at Gedling Borough Council’s office in Arnot Hill Park thanks to funding from the Nottinghamshire Police and Crime Commissioner.

Located outside the entrance to the civic centre, the lockers are free to use and aim to promote cycling for people visiting the council’s civic centre or the park.

Gedling Borough Council, who installed the lockers, hope that by offering a safe place to store bikes, it will help reduce the number of people travelling to the park by car.

Each of the lockers can store up to two bikes.

The new lockers are operated using a key which can be obtained from the reception desk or bike owners can use their own padlocks. The lockers are funded as part of Nottinghamshire Police and Crime Commissioner’s Safer Streets Funding.

Councillor Viv McCrossen, Portfolio Holder for Climate Change and Natural Habitat said: “We are thrilled to introduce these high-security bike lockers at Arnot Hill Park.

“By providing a safe and convenient option for cyclists, we hope to encourage more residents to choose biking over driving, contributing to a healthier environment and a more active lifestyle”.
