East Dunbartonshire Council appointed Lockit-safe to refurbish existing cycle shelters across 8 schools, helping to restore safe, practical cycle parking for pupils and staff. The project focused on the recladding of 15 cycle shelters that had fallen into poor condition, allowing the schools to bring valuable bike storage facilities back into regular use. Once completed, the upgraded shelters provided capacity for more than 160 cycles across the school estate.
OVERCOMING CHALLENGES
Carrying out refurbishment works across multiple live school environments required careful planning and a strong focus on safety. All works were completed during school hours, so Lockit-safe had to ensure disruption was kept to a minimum while maintaining safe access for pupils, staff, and visitors. With 15 shelters spread across 8 schools, the project also required a well-organised and coordinated delivery approach to keep the programme running smoothly.
PROJECT INFO
Lockit-safe worked with East Dunbartonshire Council to deliver a cost-effective cycle shelter refurbishment project that improved the condition, appearance, and usability of existing school cycle parking infrastructure. By recladding the shelters rather than replacing them, the project extended the life of the existing assets while restoring secure cycle storage for everyday use.
