    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.

  • Bus Services & New Residential Developments
    PROLOGUE Buses continue to represent the most popular form of public transport in Britain. Across the UK, over 4.7 billion passenger journeys are made each year. This number continues to grow. Buses offer access to work, leisure, education, and a whole range of other activities. They play a vital role in providing mobility and reducing social exclusion. Most bus journeys also involve walking, cycling, or both: regular bus use sustains a greener and healthier lifestyle. In parts of the bigger cities of Britain over one in three journeys to work is now made by bus. Nationally, one in three secondary school pupils reaches school by bus. Much more work needs to be done with partners at a local level to ensure buses can fulfil their full potential, which demands that our services are even more reliable, frequent, affordable and convenient, offering higher standards of comfort on the most environmentally friendly vehicles. Every year, Stagecoach consistently invests about £80m in our bus fleets outside London, with further expenditure in supporting facilities and technology, to meet this end. Buses offer by far the most efficient use of road space, and offer a key tool to reduce traffic growth and highways congestion and to improve air quality. General Highways and Urban Design advice to applicants and Highways Authorities BUS SERVICES & NEW RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENTS | General Highways and Urban Design advice to applicants and Highways Authorities | 3 The relevance of buses to sustainable development Over the next 20 years, more new homes are anticipated to be built than in the last 40. In parts of the UK where growth will be focused, many towns will see the most growth they have ever experienced, and several will more than double in size.
