Story Homes has created this website to provide residents of Paddocks View and Hunters Fold with easy access to comprehensive travel information for the local area and beyond.
Have you explored the different ways to travel in and around the local area?
Moving home often brings a change in lifestyle — including how you travel. Depending on your new surroundings and the amenities nearby, your day-to-day journeys may look quite different. This is a great opportunity to explore travel options that are not only more sustainable, but could also save you time and money.
While driving your own car can be the most convenient option for many people, have you considered making certain journeys on foot, by bike, using public transport, or even car sharing with someone heading the same way?
We hope the information on this website helps you understand these options and supports you in choosing the most suitable ways to travel. If you would like further advice, guidance or personalised travel tips, our appointed Travel Plan Coordinator is here to help. Simply email info@getme2.co.uk
and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
Save Money
Owning and maintaining a car is one of the biggest annual expenses for many UK households. Costs can quickly add up depending on how often you drive and the type of vehicle you own. If you’re looking to save money, reducing the number of car journeys you make is a simple and effective way to do so. Not only can it result in significant savings over the course of a year, but you’ll also be playing a positive role in protecting the environment.
Live a Healthier Lifestyle
Walking or cycling — often referred to as ‘active travel’ — is a great way to improve your fitness and get your heart pumping. It can boost your mood, enhance your wellbeing, and even put a smile on your face as part of your daily routine
Save Time
Traffic congestion is increasingly common as many of us rely on the car as our primary mode of travel. However, for short journeys — such as a quick trip to the shops or the school run — walking or cycling can often be faster than driving, parking, and then walking the final part of the journey.
