Board for Change Update: Active Travel Ambassadors oversee bike shelter improvements13 May 2024 (by admin) |
After consulting students across the school, our ATA's found that a number of their peers were opting out of travelling to school on a bike or a scooter due to lack of suitable parking space for scooters and worries over bike security.
The ambassadors raised these issues at a Board for Change meeting where it was decided that the bike shelters should be locked between 9.10am-2.50pm, with scooter pods installed for those who want to scoot to school.
To remedy these issues, and in partnership with the East Riding Road Safety Team and Modeshift, new security locks have been added to the bike shelters and a number of ‘scooter pods’ have been donated to aid with scooter storage.
As part of their mission to get more people cycling to school, the ambassadors also expressed a desire for the bike shelters to be given a deep clean. This was subsequently done by the ambassadors themselves along with Dan Lythe of ‘Lythe Cleaning Service’ who volunteered his time and resources to help the students achieve their goal.
