Lewes District Cycle Parking Rack Grant

Lewes District Council is offering grant funding for new cycle parking racks. The aim is to provide more secure parking to encourage more residents to choose cycling as a way to get around in the district.

As outlined in the Lewes District Council Climate and Nature Strategy, we are committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving air quality. One area of action is supporting sustainable travel options like cycling.

Providing cycle parking at community locations helps residents and visitors access local areas and amenities by bike. Safe and accessible cycle racks are already installed by Lewes District Council in its own car parks, but we want to ensure the community has access at a variety of locations, and car parks do not always meet the need of cyclists.

We are inviting expressions of interest from the community for grants for new accessible cycle parking racks in Lewes district. Grants of up to £1000 are available per location.

If you have a location with permission to install cycle rack parking for community access, this is an opportunity to fund the purchase and installation of new cycle parking racks.

The full details of the grant and eligibility are in the guidance which is available to download below.
