Free bike security marking event for staff and students next week

University staff and students who own bicycles are encouraged to bring their bikes along to the Students’ Union Garden at St John’s Campus on Wednesday, May 8 to have them marked.

The event, organised by our on-site PCSOs, will take place between 1300-1500 and will involve applying a tamper resistant warning label with a unique QR code to your bike which can be scanned instantly with a smart phone.

It’s aimed at deterring thieves and makes it easier for the police to return stolen bikes to their owners. There’s no need to book and it takes a few minutes for the sticker to be attached and for your contact details to be taken down.
