Drive

North Whiteley has been designed to encourage greener modes of transport. There will be shared routes alongside Botley Road, Bluebell Way and Whiteley Way to enable safe cycling and walking and the extension of 28 /28A First Bus service into the development.

Car Share

Drive Smarter

Small adjustments to your vehicle can make a big impact on the environment. Having correct tyre pressures, removing unnecessary weight and turning off your engine when stationary are just a few solutions to running a greener car. See Eco Driving and Low Carbon Travel for more information.

Consider Electric

When you replace your car, consider replacing it with hybrid or electric.  If you are unsure about the pros and cons, then take a look at Green Car Guide Independent review.  One of the key concerns is where to charge you electric car.  ZAP map shows all charging points in the UK, including the North Whiteley area.

Hybrid Working 

This option may not be open to everyone, but by working at home one day or more a week you can reduce your travel time, costs and your carbon footprint. It can contribute to a better work – life balance as you plan your work around deliveries, medical appointments or hobbies and removes the stress of a regular commute by car.

Food shopping

Save time by food shopping online – have it picked and delivered without the need to drive and shop yourself. Deliveries are carefully timetabled and are more efficient than a number of people making individual trips. Why not consider combining shopping with a chance to get some exercise by walking or cycling for your local top up shopping.

Car Club

Car Club coming soon to North Whiteley - a car club will give you access to a car without the need to own one - you only pay when you use it.
