Cycle Rack Audit

This quick audit of cycle parking in the area was done to improve the county council’s Walking and Cycling Map for Malvern, being reprinted for March 2008. (Unfortunately we think the map overall is not actually that helpful for cyclists. particularly the less experienced) .

See Projects page for cycle parking developments.
