Croydon Council Commissioned Hup Initiatives to lead on the auditing and reporting of cycle parking provision at 15 train stations located in the borough. The purpose of the exercise was to:
- provide councillors/ Council Officers information on existing/ potential cycle parking provision and current utilization.
- highlight stations in most need of improved cycle parking provision.
- Use the report as a working document, e.g. take to site and use for future cycle parking installation phases.
The stations included in the audit are listed in the table below
| Coulsdon South | Purley Oaks | South Croydon |
| Coulsdon Town | Reedham | Thornton Heath |
| Kenley | Riddlesdown | Waddon |
| Norwood Junction | Sanderstead | West Croydon |
| Purley | Selhurst | Woodmansterne |
Summary of Findings:
- 466 cycle parking spaces were identified within 50m of the station entrances.
- Utilisation of existing cycle parking facilities across the stations is approximately 25%.
- Across the whole of Croydon, existing capacity appears to be meeting demand subject to further monitoring however Thornton Heath requires immediate expansion.
- 12 stations had existing covered cycle parking provision. Norwood Junction, Reedham and Thornton Heath stations should be considered for the installation of covered provision in the near future.
- Ease of use was found to be good at most stations however older facilities frequently do not meet LCDS standards particularly in regards to the provision of wide / non-standard bays.
- 3 of the stations had abandoned items secured to stands.
- Improvements to the cycle parking facilities have been outlined for all but 1 of the 15 stations.
