Portsmouth

Bike hangar criticised by residents

“Ridiculous” bike hangar “will cause more accidents” on street where “there have been more than five car crashes”, resident claims — but council defends “popular” bicycle storage

The local authority emphasised that there were "no objections" prior to its installation and there had been "hundreds of requests from across the city" asking for more secure on-street bike storage
