Brighton Bike Bays

Brighton and Hove City Council publish a list of all Motorbike Parking Bays in the City, but only by road name, not an exact GPS location. This is where this Laravel application comes in...

I will be adding the desired features as and when I get time. Please feel free to submit a pull request if anyone has any enhancements.
