<p>As others have said, just because there is a hangar I wouldn't expect to get a place. I've been on a waiting list for one for a few years for instance.</p>
<p>As always cars are hugely prioritised over bikes and I wouldn't expect that to change to a more equitable split in parking anytime soon.</p>

<p>Wasn’t there a post recently saying the council had money to put a number (I have 20 in my head) around the borough and was looking for requests for locations??? It was the last week or two I believe. </p>

<p>Interesting - I would rather see more hangars than people like me being subsidised. If we had one for every 20 houses we might get the number of car journeys cut down.</p>

<p>Thanks, DTW.</p>
<p>From what I can see, the hangars <a href="https://www.lifecycleuk.org.uk/sites/staging.lifecycleuk.org.uk/files/Solution%20-%20BIKE%20HANGARS.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cost £2,600 for the Council to purchase</a>. It looks like Haringey then <a href="https://www.cyclehoop.rentals/how-it-works/bikehangars-and-bikelockers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">subsidise 50% of the monthly rental</a>. Anyone know if I have that right?</p>

<p>They are operated by a charity called cyclehoop - but the council have to pay the charity I believe. If you rent a space you have to pay around £36 a year.</p>

<p>There is a waiting list - if you get the signatures of your neighbours to show demand it helps get you up the queue. Word of warning though there are only 6 spaces per hangar. You can get 50 signatures but you have a lot of disappointed people when it does arrive! </p> Thanks for the link, Laura.

<p>Thanks for the link, Laura. Those bike hangars seem to be amazingly popular. On a click around Harringay, all the hangers seem to be full. Widening the search to Haringey, and without clicking on every location, I could only find one with space available. The same seems to apply in Hackney.</p>
<p>Do the Council have to fund these? If so, do you know the cost?</p>
