Richmond Council is discussing plans to expand on-street bike hangar provision across the borough.

Richmond Council's Transport and Air Quality Committee discussed plans to expand on-street bike hangar provision in March 2026. The committee was presented with an update on the council's cycle parking programme, which includes secure, lockable storage units for bicycles installed on public streets. Councillors were asked to approve a consultation for the installation of up to 40 new hangars across the borough.

This initiative is part of an ongoing effort by Richmond Council to expand cycle parking facilities. The aim is to increase the availability of secure cycle parking to encourage more residents to choose cycling for their everyday journeys, according to a report to the committee in March 2026.
