About Us
Sustainable Travel
How easy your journey is to intu Metrocentre, is important to us. And as part of one of the UK’s largest companies, we also have a responsibility to manage and minimise our impacts on the environment. This includes travelling to intu Metrocentre. We have drawn up a travel plan for intu Metrocentre and it consists of a package of measures aimed at reducing single occupancy car use among staff, retailers and shoppers, through better provision of public transport.
The overall objective of the travel plan is to try to make sure that all users (staff and shoppers) use more sustainable forms of transport, where possible, instead of single occupancy car travel. This will help to minimise our impact on the environment.
Other objectives of the plan include:
• Making sure that on-site facilities are provided, which encourage sustainable travel.
• Providing travel information to all users of intu Metrocentre to enable them to make an informed choice of how they travel to the centre.
• Establishing and developing partnerships with the local authority, transport operators, businesses in the intu Metrocentre area, and others in promoting sustainable travel.
At the same time, the plan will also provide:
Increased travel choice - a wider range of travel options, savings and benefits will enhance the recruitment and retention of staff working here as well as providing easier access to intu Metrocentre for a greater number of visitors.
Health benefits - many alternative forms of travel include an element of exercise that will lead to a healthier workforce, possibly leading to reduced rates of illness and a reduction in health related absences.
