We also wish there was formal public data set for cycle stands (all
councils publishing data) - OpenStreetMap is user driven so lacks
controls.I put in a couple of FOIs to Lambeth and Tower Hamlets for details of cycle parking stands mentioned in planning applications, you can find the details on WhatDoTheyKnow. It'd be worthwhile placing this request once every six months to update your datasets and check against OpenStreetMap, I think.

Hey Oliver. It's hard to tell, as there is no pinpoint accuracy. A dot might be a 100 metres from the actual theft location. I doubt they would put the coordinates of someones house or business.
This is what they say on the police website about locations:
In the data, locations say "on or not near X road".
In an ideal world we would be able to see the rate of theft on a cycle parking level - that would be great. We also wish there was formal public data set for cycle stands (all councils publishing data) - OpenStreetMap is user driven so lacks controls.
