New Streetpod bike storage facilities have been installed outside Warminster Library to encourage more cycling in Warminster.
The new user-friendly parking, installed by Warminster Town Council, is now available to use for up to six bikes.
The new units are Certified Secure Diamond, the highest level of UK bicycle security standard, endorsed by police and allow secure locking of the frame and both wheels with a single lock.
The Climate Strategy Working Group had previously identified that cycling to the town centre would reduce carbon emissions. A public consultation was conducted to gather feedback on cycling habits and parking needs, with respondents highlighting concerns over the security of bicycle racks.
Cllr Jack Jones said, “Upgrading the bike racks outside the town centre library to brand new Streetpod units reflects our commitment to encouraging active travel and improving local infrastructure.
“These modern, secure pods offer better protection for bikes, promote sustainable transport, and support our community’s shift towards a greener, healthier future.
“The new units have replaced the existing Sheffield stand racks with funding coming from Ear Marked Reserves Climate Change.”
