Congratulations on your new home at Paddocks View and Hunters Fold, Middleton Saint George!
Story Homes has developed this website to ensure that all residents at Paddocks View and Hunters Fold 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 sometimes can mean a big change in lifestyle. For instance, the way you travel to and from your new home would be different depending on the surroundings and amenities nearby. This is a great opportunity for you to re-consider the best travel options which are not only sustainable but also potentially save time and money.
Without a doubt, for many people driving your own car provides the most practical travel option, but how about making some journeys on foot, by bike, using public transport or even car sharing with someone else heading the same way?
We hope the information on this website will answer some of these questions and you will find the resources useful in helping you to choose the best modes of travel. However, if you would like further help, tips and advice on travel options, our appointed Travel Plan Coordinator is here to assist. Simply send an email to 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 most families in the UK. The costs can add up depending on how much you use your car and what sort of vehicle you have. Therefore, if you are looking to save money, you can take pride by making fewer car journeys – you will be doing your part to help look after the environment, whilst saving a significant amount of money over the course of a year.
Live a Healthier Lifestyle
Walking or cycling, often referred to as ‘active travel’, helps improve your fitness and gets your heart pumping. It can also lift your mood, put a smile on your face and improve your general health and wellbeing.
Save Time
Traffic congestion is common nowadays, due to the fact that we are increasingly reliant on the car as our go-to travel mode. For short journeys such as popping to the local shops or doing the school runs, simply walking or cycling can be much quicker than jumping in the car, finding an available parking space and walking the final leg to your destination.
