Guildford Business Park Travel Plan Unit 2 SUSTAINABLE TRAVEL INFORMATION PACK This travel information pack provides useful information on the methods of travel available to you for your journey to work at Guildford Business Park (GBP). WELCOME This travel information pack will provide you with information to make your choice easier when considering options for travel to and from work. This pack has been produced as part of a Travel Plan specifically for Unit 2 which aims to reduce car travel to and from the business park. Travelling sustainably can minimise your impact on the environment by improving air quality, minimising your carbon footprint and contributing to a healthier lifestyle.

By car sharing you will have the benefit and convenience of the car, whilst reducing the costs and alleviating associated problems with congestion and pollution. What is Car Sharing? Car sharing is where two or more people share a car and travel together whether this be for commuting, business, shopping or any other journey purpose. You don’t even need to own a car, as many drivers are happy to give a lift in exchange for a contribution to the fuel costs of the journey. What are the benefits? Save money on petrol and parking Reduce the stress of the daily commute Reduce the pressure on car parking demand Reduce traffic congestion and pollution as there are fewer cars on the road On average, a car-sharer can save around £900 a year through car sharing Opportunity to meet new people How can I Car Share? Speak to your Travel Plan Co-ordinator about registering your interest to car share. Your journey to work can then be matched with other employees or colleagues and you can begin car sharing. Also, register with the Surrey car share scheme at: www.liftshare.com/surrey It is free to register and use and your journey details can be matched with others.

  • 2021 Book News Welcome to Our 2021 Book News
    2021 Book News Welcome to our 2021 Book News. As we come towards the end of a very strange year we hope that you’ve managed to get this far relatively unscathed. It’s been a very challenging time for us all and we’re just relieved that, so far, we’re mostly all in one piece. While we were closed over lockdown, Mark took on the challenge of digitalising some of Venture’s back catalogue producing over 20 downloadable books of some of our most popular titles. Thanks to the kind donations of our customers we managed to raise over £3000 for The Christie which was then matched pound for pound by a very good friend taking the total to almost £7000. There is still time to donate and download these books, just click on the downloads page on our website for the full list. We’re still operating with reduced numbers in the building at any one time. We’ve re-organised our schedules for packers and office staff to enable us to get orders out as fast as we can, but we’re also relying on carriers and suppliers. Many of the publishers whose titles we stock are small societies or one-man operations so please be aware of the longer lead times when placing orders for Christmas presents. The last posting dates for Christmas are listed on page 63 along with all the updates in light of the current Covid situation and also the impending Brexit deadline. In particular, please note the change to our order and payment processing which was introduced on 1st July 2020.

  • Surrey's Large Bid to the Local Sustainable
    SURREy’S LARGE BID TO THE LOCAL SUSTAINABLE TRANSPORT FUND CONTENTS Headline information 5 Foreword 7 Executive summary 9 Business cases 15 l Strategic case 17 - Guildford package 24 - Woking package 46 - Redhill/Reigate package 66 l Economic case 105 l Commercial case 161 l Financial case 167 l Management case 175 TRAVELSMART 3 FOREWORD Travel SMART is our plan to boost Surrey’s economy by improving sustainable transport, tackling congestion and reducing carbon emissions. Surrey has a very strong economy. The county is a net contributor to the Exchequer, with a tax income of £6.12 million per year. In addition, Surrey has a GVA of £26 billion – larger than any area other than London. It is not surprising that the South East in general and Surrey in particular have been called the engine room of the UK economy. Our excellent location and strong road and rail network have helped to make Surrey a prime location for national and international businesses. A third of the M25 runs through the county. Surrey residents and businesses can enjoy the county’s unparalleled environment and still be within an easy commute of London, Heathrow and Gatwick. We have more than 80 rail stations in the county. Surrey is both an excellent place to live and to locate a business. But these advantages have also brought problems. Surrey’s roads are heavily used with more than twice the national average traffic flows. Much of the road network is saturated which means that a traffic incident can cause chronic congestion as drivers look for alternative routes.

  • ~ 1 ~ BUS and COACH TRANSPORT in WRECCLESHAM. Introduction
    BUS AND COACH TRANSPORT IN WRECCLESHAM. Introduction Bus and Coach transportation, in Farnham, and more particularly in Wrecclesham, has a long history. From the start of the 18th Century to the present day the use of the bus or coach for transport has been subject to massive change. The earliest timetabled services were provided by the Stage coach. With the arrival of rail transport, in later Victorian times, the provision of bus services to connect passengers with the rail network attracted the interest of the railway companies. In the early years of the 20th Century, the arrival of the bus company, as a means of connecting village and rural communities with their nearby towns, led to a rapid expansion of bus travel and the growth of local bus companies. Associated with this was the development of coach travel. Small coach companies were developed, initially for the demand that existed for day trips. These were attractive for organisations and groups of people seeking to escape their local areas, perhaps to get to the coast or local beauty spots, or to transport both users and spectators to various sports events. More recent growth in car ownership, has placed bus services under pressure. This has understandably led to a sharp reduction in the service, particularly to and from the more remote rural villages. In fairly recent times public subsidy has proved essential to enable bus companies to survive. In country areas provision of bus services is now seen as a social service. Car ownership has also put pressure on coach use and many of these coach companies have turned their attention to school runs and/or promoting tourism, providing holidays and transporting tourists to opportunities both within the UK and abroad.
