The first round of secure Shrewsbury Moves Cycle Pods introduced over the summer has proved a success, with all five subscription-based pods filling up within days of installation.

Every subscription-based pod is now fully booked and operating with a waiting list - a clear sign of strong and growing demand for secure, weather-protected cycle storage in the town. A total of fifty-one people are currently on the waiting list for a space in the pods installed earlier this year.

Building on this momentum, four new pods have been installed following feedback from residents and consultation with local councillors, and opened for subscriptions on the 1 December via the Park My Bike app.

The new pods are located at Frankwell Car Park, Frankwell Island, the Quarry Leisure Centre, and on Oxon Business Park, offering residents, commuters and visitors more flexible options for secure cycle parking at just £5 per month.

A Pay-As-You-Go pod remains available by the Market Hall on Shoplatch, providing short-term or occasional secure parking for cyclists who don't require a long-term subscription, capped at £2 per day.

A third round of installations is also scheduled for January, and Shrewsbury residents are encouraged to help shape future locations by suggesting where the next wave of new pods should be placed.
