Moving home is about a fresh start and finding the right location for you. It’s exciting and also a good opportunity to try something new.

That is why Bristol City Council is giving people moving into new developments the chance to try out alternative ways to get around.

You may discover that walking, cycling or catching a bus could save you time and money, as well as keeping you fit and being better for the environment.
