Bike Shelters for GHA Tenants
Please get Glasgow Housing Association to build bike shelters for their tenants and / or provide safe spaces out of the rain for tenants to park bikes/mobility scooters/ prams and buggies
Why is this important?
After a few days of dragging the bike up and down 6 flights of stairs and struggling through the heavy fire doors young people begin to find cycling is not so much fun
The tenants are not allowed to store anything on the landings
Bikes / prams / buggies / mobility scooters are not stored. They are parked - ie they are in use and not stored anymore than cars are stored in the parking areas outside
One elderly lady struggling with her walking was not allowed to park her mobility scooter inside
The landings, unlike the flat hallways, are spacious with lots of nooks to park a bike or mobility scooter or pram without impeding traffic, despite what the housing officers say
It is fairly certain that a bike pram or mobiility scooter is less of a fire hazard parked in a cement corridor than in a small hallway
But why not build bike shelter for prams and bikes and scooters?
This is Bike Week in Glasgow.
Please ask GHA 08004797979 and / or the Wheatley Group who are "committed to a Greener Glasgow", how they are supporting Bike Week :
