Mandatory secure motorcycle parking locations in London

Additional Information

35 m/cycles are stolen in London per day. It should be mandatory for London councils to provide secure parking for m/cycles such as in residential and work areas with secure parking for one m/cycle for every ten spaces available cars.
In my area of London due to the positioning of the street furniture, one cannot secure a m/cycle to them correctly, even with a 1.7m chain, by putting the chain through the frame rather than a wheel which can easily be removed. Furthermore, if you put your m/cycle on the pavement to chain it to a lamp-post securely, you receive a PCN for your efforts to not have your m/cycle stolen.
M/cycle use instead of cars should be encouraged in London in order to reduce congestion. City riders are put off dramatically by the massive insurance premiums due to the high theft rate.
Providing secure m/cycle parking would reduce theft and in doing so would: reduce police costs, reduce insurance premiums which would encourage motorcycle use thereby reducing congestion.
