Congratulations on your new home at Goldsmith's Green, Kettering!
Places for People has developed this website to ensure that all residents at Goldsmith’s Green have access to a full range of travel information about the local area and beyond.
Have you considered the options for travelling around the local area?
Moving home, starting a new job, or enrolling in school can be an exciting yet significant life change. It often means adjusting how you travel to and from your new home, work, or school. This presents a great opportunity to rethink your travel choices—choose options that are not only sustainable but could also save you both time and money.
While driving your own car may seem the most practical option, have you considered walking, cycling, using public transport, or even car-sharing with others who have similar routes? These alternatives can simplify your journeys and benefit the environment.
We trust the information on this website will help you explore these options. However, should you require additional guidance or personalised advice, our Travel Plan Coordinator is readily available to assist.
Simply email Info@getme2.co.uk, and we will respond promptly with tailored recommendations.
Save Money
Did you know that owning a car is one of the biggest annual expenses for UK families? From fuel and insurance to maintenance and tax, the costs can quickly add up to thousands of pounds. But what if you could keep more of that money in your pocket while also helping the environment?
By choosing to drive less, you’re not just cutting costs—you’re making a real difference. Walking, cycling, or using public transport even a few times a week can lead to big savings and a greener, healthier lifestyle.
Small changes add up, so why not start today?
Live a Healthier Lifestyle
Walking, wheeling, or cycling isn’t just great for your fitness—it’s a mood booster too!
Getting your heart pumping releases those feel-good endorphins, making you feel happier and more energised. Plus, it’s an easy way to improve your overall health and wellbeing.
So why not take the scenic route and feel the benefits of the outdoors today?
Save Time
Traffic jams are a daily hassle, but for short trips like heading to the shops or doing the school run, walking or cycling can be the faster, stress-free option.
Skip the car, avoid hunting for parking, and enjoy a quicker, more enjoyable journey right to your destination.
