Transport
An effective transport policy is a vital part of Kingsway and is being planned in
such a way as to preserve the area’s environment.
Experts have drawn up a wide ranging travel plan for Kingsway. These days the scope
for Travel Planning in new residential developments such as this is being explored
more and more.
Planners maintain that developments such as Kingsway need, for the future, to offer
a wide range of transport benefits and an environment where the intrusion of cars
and traffic is minimised.
The aim is to encourage less use of the motor car around the development and to
offer the best possible facilities for walking, cycling and the use of public transport.
There is to be a network of footpaths and cycle tracks across Kingsway and a new
bus service will serve the development.
The Travel Plan aims to meet the social, economic and environmental aspirations
of residents on Kingsway. Experts accept that the support and co-operation of residents
is key to its success and they are very hopeful the right approach is being adopted
to achieve a really positive response to the imaginative planned transport services
on Kingsway.
Bus Service Update
The new bus service through Kingsway is now up and running. Operated by Stagecoach,
route Number 14 passes through the development on its way from Stroud and Gloucester.
Also operating on the edge of Kingsway is the successful Park & Ride scheme, which
provides a swift and regular service into Gloucester. More information
