Conservative, Cheltenham
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether he supports the expansion of centres such as Travel for London's planned cycling superhub to other parts of the UK.
Robert Goodwill
Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport)
We support the development of cycle hubs that have all the facilities a cyclist needs in one place and are providing funding for a number of these hubs. We have already financed a number of these innovative hubs which have contributed towards the number of cycle parking spaces across England trebling since 2012.
We are monitoring with interest the development of the cycle superhub at Waterloo Station which will provide cycle parking on a much larger scale to ascertain the effectiveness of such a facility at other cities across England.
Cycling is a devolved responsibility for Scotland and Wales.
