ORGANISATIONS in Worcestershire can now apply for free cycle parking stands.
It is one of several schemes being rolled out by Worcestershire County Council to make it easier for people to walk and cycle.
Businesses, community groups, surgeries, schools, shops, pubs, cafes and churches can all apply for up to four cycle stands free of charge.
Successful applicants are then responsible for installing the stands on their premises.
Conventional bike racks, heart-shaped stands, wall-mounted rails and just some of the stands available to choose from.
Councillor Alan Amos, cabinet member for highways, said: “This scheme is one of several measures we are introducing as part of Phase 1 of the Active Travel Fund to make cycling safer, easier and more accessible across the county.
“I would strongly urge any organisation, large or small, to take up this special offer and make their premises secure and welcoming to cyclists.”
