Our vision is to make Calderdale a nationally recognised centre of cycling excellence. Where residents, visitors and tourists of all ages and abilities can safely cycle for utility, commuting, leisure and sporting pursuits.
To do this, we will offer residents the chance to store bikes safely and conveniently.
Cycle Hangars
These take up only half a car parking space and can store up to six standard bikes. This makes them an efficient and cost-effective alternative to parking a car.
Where and when they will be placed
- Mytholmroyd (Autumn 2024).
- Todmorden (2025/26).
Further hangars will be placed around the district.
How other locations will be decided
We will consider various things, but locations will be chosen mainly on the level of demand in an area.
When you register your interest, it will allow us to see where there is a demand for them. This helps us to place them in places that work for everyone.
We will let you know if a cycle hangar is going in your area
When you register your interest, we will tell you if there will be one close to your address.
How we will allocate them
We use a scoring system that will prioritise residents in most need of a space, which considers factors such as:
- current storage options;
- and the type of home you live in.
Costs to you
- Membership is £30 per year.
- There will also be a one-off key deposit of £20. (This is returned to you when the key is handed back at the end of your membership.)
