Cycle Storage at Minsterley Primary School in Shropshire

We had an excellent time working on this cycle storage solution in Minsterley, Shropshire. When Minsterley Primary School contacted us, we began working together to make sure their cycle storage really met all of their needs.

Project Specification

Product: Cyclo Bike™
Size: 8000mm x 2500mm
Steelwork:
- Traffic Red - RAL NO. 3020
Roof:
- Clear

Our Cycle Store has been a great introduction. At 8000mm x 25000mm and in a colourful, vibrant Red (RAL 3020) this new cycle storage really stands out and provides a secure and robust area for bicycles to be locked up. We’ve also installed cycle shelters at many other schools across the country, including Ashby School.

Last minute changes are an inevitability on schools and when working with Minsterley Primary School we were happy to accommodate some changes at the end of the process that meant this space really met their needs with mesh panel ends and bespoke scooter parking.

“Thank you for the excellent cycle storage and scooter racks installed by A&S Landscape this term. The professionalism of the company has been apparent from the planning stage through to installation and final evaluation. Last minute changes were catered for to give a final product which is perfect for our needs. The quality of the shelter and cycle racks is excellent – being robust and well finished. Issues of health and safety were properly considered ensuring that installation was carried out safely. Thanks to everyone concerned.”

With estimations that by 2050 70% of girls and 55% of boys will be overweight or obese, there has never been a more key time to cycle to school. Even so, more parents than ever are driving their children to school. A Sustrans survey showed that whilst 12% of parents were driven to school when they were pupils, currently 35% of children are driven to school, so what has changed?
