SUSTAINABLE TRAVEL GROUP
More than 20% of our total emissions come from transport, so, by reducing our reliance on petrol and diesel powered vehicles we can reduce overall CO2e in BoA. The best site for information about public transport and active travel in and around Bradford on Avon is Connecting Wiltshire. See also the BoA Active travel map which, in as much as new undercover cycle parking has been installed at Lambs Yard, is in other respects current but slightly out of date. The town is in the middle of a process of reassessing its transport options and a more up to date map will be available when that is complete.
We are also exploring the possibilities for encouraging electric powered vehicles. Some retail outlets are about to be approached with the aim of installing electric vehicle charging points in the near future. If you feel you would like to help the group in any way please email us
THINGS TO DO
- Please support us making a film, we are a Coop Local Cause this year!
