In fact, I'll write to the manager of the local supermarket and ask why they
don't have bikestands (well, they have some wheelbenders loosely bolted into
the wall by the cashpoints, but...)

Cheers,


Hi there,

What supermarket is it? If it is ASDA they are supposed to have
adopted a policy of installing Sheffield stands. If the store has been
there less the 5 years or so the local authority should, and might
well have, made the use of Sheffield stands a condition of the
planning consent.

I went though all this with a new ASDA store in Hull and eventually
got Sheffield stands installed, even though I did have to provide
details of the relevant guidelines and even find a supplier. (Hull
City Council had made the use of Sheffield stands a condition of the
planning consent but brought no real pressure to bear on ASDA when
they didn't bother putting them in...) If it is ASDA e-mail me and I
will provide the contact details for their specification manager. Good
luck! It only too a year for ASDA to sort of the stands I requested!
