More bike-sheds for #TheRedbricks, more (tight-timescale) consultation

Two more bike-sheds are set to get installed on The Redbricks soon.  City South Manchester received funding, and consulted neighbouring (to the proposed locations) residents in July 2016.  Due to the delays in TfGM funding, and the unfortunate short TfGM timescale, City South are asking for more feedback, by tomorrow.

The letters put through the doors of neighbouring flats in the last week can be seen here.

CSM are seeking funding and installing these thanks to residents working with them over the last decade, to successfully increase needed bike storage on the estate.
