Lockers for runners, cyclists etc

With outdoor excercise more popular than ever I feel that adding lockers to green spaces would be beneficial. We already have outdoor gym equipment in parks so why not add lockers too.

I often go running and really enjoy it but often find the areas in which I can run are limited. Say I want to go on a long run and travel further afield to go on a new running route, I often feel limited as I may want to take personal items with me e.g towel, water bottle, key, a coat if it's cold on the journey there, but I do not want to carry these with me whilst I am doing my exercise activity!

If we added a secure lockers to some green spaces popular with runners, around the borough it may encourage runners from far and wide to come an visit!

With outdoor excercise being the only option a the moment I feel giving people the option to visit new green spaces for excercise will be much appreciated.

These lockers may also be useful for walkers/ramblers! Say a you want to do a long circular route and end with a lunch or picnic, you can simply store your lunch in the locker for when you finish. Again with cafes being shut this is often people's only option for an outdoor lunch!

Just an idea!
