Just received this email via my local authority mailing list informing me of a subsidised offer on a bike bunker for £120. The bike bunker described in the email is I think identical to a £499.99 one I found via google.
Ealing Council Update
Looking for a safe way to secure your bike ?
Dear Me,
Do you own bikes which would benefit from a secure, dry and tidy place to be stored outside? Ealing Council has secured funding to subsidise a small number of home ‘bike bunkers’ for Ealing residents which can comfortably hold two adult bikes and one folding or child’s bike.
The bunker needs to be sited to the rear or to the side of your property and would be bolted to the floor. It measures approximately 2m by 0.9m (6ft x3ft) and is painted in a garden friendly colour.
All you have to pay is £120 inclusive of VAT and then our supplier will arrange with you a suitable date for installation.
In order to be considered for a bike bunker, please complete and submit your application using the following link https://www.research.net/r/HPGB89Z by the 22 May 2016.
We will be in touch if you have been successful to arrange an initial site visit to make sure it will be possible to install at your property
Wouldn't need these if your mates would stop nicking bikes

£120 including vat & installation? This is a very good deal, if I lived in Ealing and had room for this I would get my application in quick.

It's a massive discount, and I've added the inclusion of VAT and installation to the post title.

Lol - I don't think you can sub let it as you would own it. However, there's no reason why you couldn't let it out as long as it's installed on your property. How many people do think you could squeeze in there?

i know a guy who can crack these open just with a flat screwdriver in less than 15sec... so much for being a secure place to store your bike...

It looks like the cut off was Feb 2015.

don't worry a regular crackhead can't get that easily/fast in them. And people who own the much more expensive bikes don't dare to keep them in these.
Carry on Boyo!

Another local authority struggling to give their residents' council tax away?
