New data from the Department for Transport reveals that more residents of Wandsworth are taking up cycling than anywhere else in the country, with the proportion of residents cycling almost doubling from 18.2 per cent in 2013/14, to 30.7 per cent in 2014/15. There is clearly an appetite for cycling in Wandsworth, so will you consider extending the cycle hire scheme to cover more of the Borough? Specifically, would you consider extending it to Roehampton University? It may have identified sponsorship for the installation costs and is keen to get students into the habit of cycling.
