Travel plans

We work with businesses, employers and developers to develop travel plans. Travel plans promote healthy and sustainable transport options to people and reduce the number of car journeys. Travel plans can evolve with the community as it grows.

Grants for small businesses

Small and medium businesses (with between 5-250 employees) can receive a match funded grant of up to £1,000 through the Low Carbon Workspace project. 

Funding can be used for schemes that reduce costs, improve travel routes and lower carbon emissions. 

Visit the low carbon workspace website for more details about how to apply for a grant.
