King Athelstan School developed an good Travel Plan in March this year.  Within their Travel Plan they set a target to increase the number of pupils, staff and parents cycling therefore contributing to an overall reduction in car use.  Along with cyclist training and a cycle policy the school decided they needed somewhere secure and dry for bicycles to be left during the school day, they applied to Transport for London who agreed and built a state of the art shelter for 20 cycles.
