So a developer is building some apartments behind my office, and as part of the deal with the council, is renovating the public square where I currently lock my bike. I had a look at the plans the other day, and the racks they're planning to install look terrible - big waist high square sections that look impossible to get a d lock around.
This is the document that's been uploaded on the council website: http://planningonline.bristol.gov.uk/online-applications/files/51F24719BD27DBB4D2B322303AEA6605/pdf/13_01858_COND-CYCLE_PARKING_STREETLIFE-1069833.pdf
And another image can be seen in the manufacturers brochure, here: http://www.streetlife.nl/brochure_straatmeubilair/-/-/en
I have the email of the planning official in charge of this case, and plan on emailing him to tell him what a bad idea these are and how they should just install conventional Sheffield racks as they allow safe double locking using a d lock. My question to you, the LFGSS, is what else, if anything should I include to back up my case?
