This Travel Pack has been provided for you to browse through and find out about your local travel options.
It aims to provide you with information on local facilities and transport services available, including details
of how you can access them conveniently.
WHAT IS A TRAVEL PLAN?
The purpose of a Travel Plan is to demonstrate a commitment to minimising the impact of travel on the
environment by reducing the level of unnecessary travel and encouraging those who have to travel to
do so in a more environmentally friendly way. The overarching aim of the Travel Plan is to promote
greener, cleaner travel choices, reducing reliance on the private car. The Travel Plan is primarily aimed
at the journey to and from work or journeys made during the course of the working day. It also
considers travel issues relating to visitors.
A Travel plan can bring a range of benefits, not only to the community but to staff and the
business implementing the plan. Benefits include a healthier, more productive workforce,
cost savings to staff, reduced demand for on-site parking and less congestion locally.
A travel plan is a “live” on-going document, and as such are continually reviewed and
updated. All occupying companies of Hinckley Park will be encouraged to adhere to the principles of
sustainable transport set out in the Travel Plan and issue this Travel Pack to all employees via the
dedicated Travel Plan Coordinator
The principal objectives of the Travel Plan are:
Objective 1 – to develop a safe, convenient, efficient and attractive transport infrastructure
which encourages and facilitates the use of walking, cycling and public transport and which
minimises reliance on and discourages unnecessary use of private cars.
Objective 2 - to increase the role of walking and cycling as transport modes, in support of wider
transport, health and social policy objectives.
Objective 3 - to actively promote car sharing between all new employees at the proposed
development by creating a database of employee travel patterns prior to occupation. Car Sharing
will be subject to the current Government guidelines surrounding COVID-19.

WALKING
Walking is a great way to improve your health and fitness. It has been shown to reduce stress,
increase productivity and energy levels and improve sleep. And walking is free, reliable and a
simple way to introduce daily exercise into your life – no matter your age or fitness!
Leicestershire County Council offer a range of walking maps across Leicestershire with interactive
maps for over 150 walks, guided trails and walking groups.
These routes connect via public rights of way and existing pavements which provide access to bus stops, shops
and leisure areas. The town of Hinckley has a full range of services facilities and amenities within the town centre
including a number of high street shops, restaurants/coffee shops, supermarkets, library, opticians, pharmacies,
banks, barbers/hairdressers, dental surgeries and more .
There are several footpaths within the vicinity of Hinckley Park!

CYCLING
Cycling is a fast, cheap way of getting around.
It is one of the easiest ways to keep fit without the
expense of a gym membership.
Regular cycling lowers the risk of heart disease,
diabetes and helps to lose weight.
National Cycle Route 52 is situated to the north west of Hinckley which runs
north from Warwick through Coventry, Nuneaton and Coalville to link with
National Route 6 just west of Loughborough.
In addition, the general topography of Hinckley is reasonably flat which will
assist you in travelling by cycle!
You’ve heard of Park and Ride, but have you ever thought about Bike and Ride?
For commuting trips, even if you can’t cycle the whole way to work, perhaps you could
consider cycling some of the way and using public transport for the remaining journey.
Leicestershire County Council offer the 'Choose How you Move' website which includes a
dedicated journey planner planner!
There are also dedicated cycle clubs, guided rides and a list of nearby bike shops.
Check out the 5km Cycling Catchment contained in this Travel Pack!

PUBLIC TRANSPORT - BUS
Arriva Bus Service 8
Lutterworth to Hinckley Service
There are many advantages to using the local bus services. It allows for many people to share
trips they might otherwise make individually by car.
By sharing trips, we can reduce harmful emissions and help sustain a cleaner, healthier
environment. The bus is a great option for travelling to destinations not served by trains, for fun
and stress-free days out for avoiding the stress of driving and parking at your destination.
A range of daily, weekly, and longer period season tickets are available. You can also buy a carnet-style
‘Ten Trip’ ticket, ideal for those working shifts or only travelling on certain days!
Check out the route map of Service 8 on the following page below!

CAR SHARING
Car Sharing is the most sustainable way to
make journeys by car. By sharing your
journey with just one other person you can
reduce your travel costs by 50%. You can
share cars and take it in turns to drive!
The use of car sharing will be subject to the
Government Guidelines surrounding
COVID-19
Why Car Share?
It reduces the number of cars on the roads, resulting in less congestion, less pollution and fewer
parking problems
It provides a real solution to the transport problems of rural areas
Opportunity to socialise
Useful for people with mobility difficulties
Reduced fuel costs
Time to relax without driving stress
Did you know that a commuter will typically save over £1,000 a year? Find someone to share your
journey with to begin savings money.
ELECTRIC VEHICLES
Electric Vehicles (EVs) are vehicles which use one or more electric motors for propulsion. In
regards to environmental sustainability, all plug-in vehicles provide improved fuel economy
and either zero or reduced emissions.
EVs offer a number of potential savings compared to conventional vehicles.
EVs can be charged in a variety of places including at home,
workplace or at designated EV charging points across the UK.

PUBLIC TRANSPORT AND MOBILITY
Most public transport services services in Hinckley operate with low floor, easy access vehicles. This means
that they can accommodate wheelchairs and enable easier access for those with walking difficulties.
Dial a Ride provides transport for people of any age who are unable to use public transport due to mobility
impairment or disability, whether permanent or temporary. They operate door-to-door using vehicles which
are fully accessible and can carry wheelchair users in comfort and safety.
You can find more information and a copy of the application form by calling the number below:
Hinckley and Bosworth Community Transport - 01455 250462
TAXI/UBER
Taxis/Ubers can form an important part of sustainable journeys. Many Taxis are now hybrids or
‘green’ vehicles , which help to reduce the impact of car journeys on the environment. Taxis could
save you money and help to reduce your carbon footprint! If you need to make a journey, why not
share with someone else by utilising the Uber service? Uber provides a
ride-hailing service where you are quoted on the cost of the fare for the journey and pay before
requesting the ride for convenience. There are a number of private hire taxi operators local to
Hinckley, through which taxis can be pre-booked.
