With the New Year fast approaching the PBA Travel Planning team have been hard at work designing Tanners Gate residents a 2014 Travel Plan Calendar, with the help of a local primary school.
The Highwood Group's residential development at Tanners Gate is coming to the end of its third year of Travel Plan Coordination. Our work to date has proved that a Travel Plan really adds value post-completion by promoting sustainable travel practices where there is participation from a range of key local groups.
The PBA team are always on the hunt of innovative ways to portray their messages to residents. With the theme of the calendar based around the concept of persuading residents to leave their car at home, the PBA team got thinking, who better to encourage the Tanners Gate residents than local school children?
Miss Seall's Year 5 class at Locks Heath Junior School provided us with some excellent drawings all with honest and simple messages for the calendar which we believe will really impact resident decisions.
When handing our Travel Plan team the full set of drawings from her Year 5 class, Miss Seall told us about her class' enthusiastic discussion on sustainable travel. She explained, "The children identified a range benefits from saving the world and costing less, to being good for you, helping spend more time with the family and seeing places you wouldn't normally see."
On behalf of The Highwood Group and PBA Travel Planning Team we would like to thank Locks Heath Junior School for all their hard work and effort.
