Market Drayton town councillors agreed in a meeting of its facilities and general purposes committee that there should be more places in the town where cyclists can safely leave their bikes.

The new structures will be put up by the benches near the library in Cheshire Street, at the 'Shambles' (a former market building) at the end of Shropshire Street, and at the entrance to car parks at Queen Street.

Mayor Roy Aldcroft said: "With the cost of bikes and increasing bikers visiting our town the least we can do is encourage them to visit with a secure place to park their bike."
