The Wintringham St Neots development is located east of St Neots, Cambridgeshire. It is bounded in the west by the main railway line between Peterborough, to the north, and London in the south. The northern boundary is the Cambridge Road and the eastern/southern boundary is the A428 (Cambridge Road). This development will comprise 2,800 new homes, two new primary schools, a District centre, 63,500m2 of employment floorspace and 9km of cycleways.
As a Master Developer, sustainability is at the heart of everything Urban&Civic do. Not only the Physical build, but the Social, Economic, Natural and Human aspects of sustainability. GO Travel Solutions (GTS) specialise in people engagement on sustainable forms of transport. In our role as Travel Plan Co-ordinator for Wintringham we will use a wide range of initiatives to encourage individuals to make a behaviour change and travel more sustainably. Working together with Urban&Civic and the residents, we can really make a difference to reduce the overall level of single occupancy vehicle (SoV) travel associated with the development.
GTS will explore various public transport options for Wintringham, including bus service provision, EV-Car club and e-bikes. The aim will be to provide a range of options that will meet the diverse needs of the new community. The focus will be on reducing the need for car ownership. This will be through providing a range of new sustainable travel options for residents, in parallel with using the LocalGo web-based solution to communicate and incentivise take-up of buses, trains, cycling and walking.
