See an illustrative response
Dear Centre Manager, I am writing to raise a concern about bicycles left beside the main entrance. They sometimes make access difficult for visitors with pushchairs. One possible solution would be to mark a parking area beside the side wall. I recognise that space is limited, so a small trial might be useful before installing permanent racks. Could you let us know whether this would be possible? I would be happy to help collect visitors' feedback.
