Welcome to Beaufort Park & Berwick Green
Discover new places and new ways to get around your community.
A fresh start for your travel habits
Moving into a new home is the perfect opportunity to rethink how you travel. There are lots of travel options in your new neighbourhood for the everyday journeys that you need to make, and moving house is a great time to try them!
Could you take the bus to work now and then, walk or cycle to school on some days if you aren’t already doing so, or share lifts on the school run? Maybe walk or cycle to the local library, park, or leisure centre when it suits you.
Even small changes to your travel habits can make a big difference. Travelling actively and sustainably – such as walking, cycling, scooting, catching the bus, or car sharing to name a few – have lots of benefits. Here are just a few ways it can make a positive impact:
Boost your health and wellbeing
- Add movement to your day and enjoy the physical and mental health benefits of being more active. These journeys offer an opportunity to increase your daily activity levels – at your own pace.
Explore your local area
- Walking, wheeling, or cycling can help you discover new places and feel more connected to your neighbourhood. You might notice things you’ve never seen before!
Be mindful on the move
- Looking to feel more present and relaxed? Try a mindful journey – whether you’re walking, wheeling, or cycling, take time to notice what’s around you.
Build a sense of community
- Seeing others out and about can help build that community feeling. You might even start to recognise familiar faces on your regular routes.
Support a healthier, happier street
- Fewer car journeys on your local streets can help the neighbourhood feel more pleasant with less noise, pollution and congestion.
Save money while staying active
Walking, wheeling, or cycling can be affordable and healthy ways to get around. Even swapping a few car trips can make a difference – every little bit saved counts!
The Travel Planning Team is here to support you to explore and try new ways of getting around. Here is a list of the different ways we work with your new community to do this:
Travel Plan
Your new developments have a Travel Plan designed to support active and sustainable travel. It includes measures to encourage:
- Active travel modes such as walking, wheeling, and cycling
- Public transport use
- Car sharing
The Travel Plans launched in May 2025 and June 2025 for Beaufort Park & Berwick Green respectively. They are expected to run until 2033. Any changes to the end date will be monitored and updated here as necessary.
South Gloucestershire Council’s Travel Plan Team coordinate the plans and ensure their successful implementation.
Travel Information Packs
Within a month of moving in, you’ll receive a welcome letter with Travel Plan details and the name of your Travel Plan Coordinator. You will also receive a Discover Beaufort Park & Berwick Green guide and some useful travel leaflets.
Discover Guide
Discover Beaufort Park & Berwick Green is your go-to resource for exploring the local area and getting to know your active and sustainable travel options for the journeys you need to make. It highlights:
- Walking and cycling routes.
- Information on public transport options, car-sharing schemes, bike parking, and other travel-related infrastructure.
- Local amenities and points of interest that help build a vibrant and connected community.
- Green outdoor spaces.
The guide is shaped by local recommendations to help new residents feel at home and to try travelling actively and sustainably for some of the journeys that need to be made.
As a new resident, you’ll receive a printed copy of the discover guide with your welcome letter, and a copy is also sent to you when it gets updated. You can also request a copy by emailing: [email protected] or view the digital map online.
Smarter Travel Vouchers
Your new developments, Beaufort Park and Berwick Green, have a smarter travel voucher scheme. This is funded by the developer and offered to all households on the development. It can be used to help you purchase items that support active or sustainable travel.
South Gloucestershire Council administer the scheme. Only one voucher per household is allowed.
Details of eligible items and how to claim the costs back are outlined in the voucher. More information can be found in the Terms & Conditions.
For more information about the Smarter Travel Voucher scheme, contact the travel planning team at [email protected]

We conduct an annual travel survey to understand residents travel choices and behaviour so we can make sure we’re delivering the most effective support for your community. As a resident, you’ll receive a letter with a QR code and web link to complete the survey online. Paper copies are available on request.
Your feedback is important to us and helps shape future improvements. We’d love to hear from you.
