Would any Hillsborough small businesses be interested in some bike parking?

Do you know a small business or charity that could benefit from this?

@RivelinCo @WildSheffield Local legends ���🤣🤣 (but thank you, we'll take that!)

[S6 Swifts Sheffield @S6swifts]

@sammyanthabragg They don't really need any maintenance as swifts don't bring in much nesting material and swifts are happy to reuse it each year. The boxes we use are made of Duraply plywood which can stand up to weather and doesn't need any treatment and should last for around 15 years.
