Cycle parking is removed (see Google image of how it looked before) to make way for commercial activities. Cycle infrastructure does generate business though. twitter.com/cbruntlett/status/367312232511582209/photo/1 Planning obligations of the developers appear to have been sidelined.
A cider seller street decoration has taken the place of well used cycle parking. The security staff of the outdoor bar areas were keen to point out this cycle parking when you turned up at the bar with your bike. What now ?
Have they not heard of Vélocity 2025 ?
I have not found any replacement parking for the removed in any case there should be signs to direct to the new facility
