Green Travel Plan

To support the Council's on-going commitment to protecting and enhancing the environment, a Green Travel Plan has been implemented to promote alternative modes of transport for staff and visitors travelling to and between Council offices.

Traffic congestion in Witney is a major problem and the Council is actively involved in addressing this issue.

To promote the Green Travel Plan, a Green Travel Week was carried out during June 2006.

Further Information
More details are available in the Council's Green Travel Plan.

Initiatives of the Plan include:

A Car-share database has been set-up to enable staff to share lifts to and from work.
Public Transport - Details of local bus services through the district are available at Elmfield and Woodgreen Council Offices and also via the traveline website.
Cycling - Staff and visitors are encouraged to cycle where possible. Details of signed cycle routes in the district can be found on the sustrans website.
Walking - Where practical, staff and visitors are encouraged to walk to and from, and also between, Council buildings.
