Bike plan in green scheme

Community leaders behind a scheme to improve their neighbourhood are to install 14 cycle lockers. The committee of the Morice Town Home Zone has already donated 30 BikeAway lockers to Parkside School. The lockers allow cycles to be stored securely, encouraging more children to bike to school. The committee is looking for suitable places to install lockers within the neighbourhood. The £1 million Morice Town scheme is one of only nine pilots in the UK and is the second - largest Home Zone pilot area after Manchester.

The idea behind the scheme is that pedestrians and cyclists are given greater priority on roads so they share the space with cars. Play areas are also installed and trees planted to make the area more pleasant.
