Yearly Monitoring

The Smarter Travel Team strives to demonstrate the importance of the environmental and health benefits of increasing the use of more sustainable modes of travel as an alternative to the private car. As part of our role, the annual Travel Plan review and yearly monitoring has recently taken place. The points below highlight the benefits that can be derived from the implementation of the St Johns Mead Travel Plan.

What has the travel plan achieved?

• St Johns Mead has seen a higher-than-expected proportion of residents travelling by foot, this could be due to the number of amenities available within Elmswell village centre. Additionally, some of these residents could be travelling by foot to local bus stops or Elmswell train station.

• There has been an overall increase in residents sharing car/van journeys, which has exceeded census statistics. Covid-19 is likely to have effected this. However, overall, there is an obvious growing trend.

• Additionally, most residents suggested cheaper and more frequent public transport options would encourage them to travel more sustainably.

As highlighted in the Travel Plan, we continue to provide information and advice concerning appropriate cycle and walking routes for residents. We will also continue to liaise with relevant authorities to highlight any maintenance issues throughout the year. If there is anything you would like to see to encourage you to make changes to your travel habits, Please contact us, your Travel Plan Coordinator, for any questions or issues relating to travel that you may have.
