Guernsey States put cycle shelters in St Peter Port

The shelter on North Beach replaced four parking spaces

New cycle parks have been built in St Peter Port by Guernsey's Environment Department.

The covered shelters were placed on North Beach and the Crown Pier at a cost of about £15,000.

Environment Minister Peter Sirett said he hoped they would encourage more people to leave their cars at home.

He said: "We're trying to give people who use their bicycles for work somewhere where they can keep their bicycles in a bit more cover."
