Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire Council’s have another opportunity to resubmit a proposal for Energy Saving Trust (EST) Local Authority eCargo Bike Grant Fund 2021/22, following their original application in March 2020.
Employees who regularly cycle or walk are fitter, healthier and take less sick days.
Car parking takes up space and is an extra business expense. Ten bicycles can be parked in a single car parking space. Speak to us about our Parking Cost Estimator tool that will show you how much you can save by reducing your car parking provision.
Regular commuting cyclists report a greater tolerance of stress, and an enhanced perception of wellbeing and self-confidence. With work-related stress anxiety or depression accounting for over half of all working days lost due to ill health in Great Britain, this benefit cannot be ignored.
Time spent in traffic and finding a car parking space is costing businesses time and money.
80% of morning traffic in Bristol city centre relates to commuting, leading to considerable strain on the network, costing the economy over £600m a year.
