Oxford residents have hit out at a county council scheme to install bike hangars on their street, with claims the bicycle storage facilities are"discriminatory" to disabled people and look like"pigsties"., comes after Oxfordshire County Council installed the hangars in three streets following a consultation, the scheme supported by Thames Valley Police who say the locations were specifically selected for areas that suffer from high levels of bike theft.
One image published by the Mail shows a resident using a wheelchair unable to use the pavement due to a wheely bin being placed on the footpath next to the hangar, the feet of the bike storage facility sat a few inches onto the pavement. A third resident said she had lived on the street for 32 years and the hangars are"totally out of keeping" with the street's architecture and would prevent her mother, who has severe mobility issues, from visiting due to the blocked access to her house.
