Welcome to your dedicated Travel Plan website, designed to help you explore sustainable travel options. As part of the Hareshill development, a Travel Plan has been developed to encourage active and eco-friendly transport while reducing traffic and environmental impact.
The Plan aims to:
– Raise awareness of sustainable and active travel options
– Promote the health benefits of active travel
– Provide measures that support greener travel choices
– Reduce unnecessary single occupancy vehicle trips for local journeys
Here, you’ll find up-to-date information on walking and cycling routes, public transport, and other local travel options in and around Fleet.
Walking and cycling are great ways to boost your health, fitness and wellbeing. It is recommended that the average adult should do 30 minutes of exercise 5 times per week. Walking or cycling to work, the shops or school is an easy way to achieve this target.

Thinking of making the switch? The government is currently offering up to £2,500 off eligible low-emission vehicles—built right into the dealer’s price. Check out the full list of qualifying vehicles on the official government website.
And it’s not just here—EV charging points are popping up all over the UK. Use Zap Map to find a charger near your destination and hit the road with confidence.
Car Sharing
One way of reducing the costs of travelling by car is to ‘car share’ or ‘liftshare’. As well as saving you the money you will also help the environment by reducing your carbon footprint. It’s also a great way to meet new people and make new friends!
Car sharing can be done travelling to work, going shopping, on the school run – in fact on any journey you make!
Why not try it out, to search for other people travelling on similar routes to you? There are public car share databases which enable you to search for journey matches and these are all FREE to use:

Home Delivery Services
An easy way to cut the cost of car travel is to shop locally. The local shops in Fleet can provide you with day-to-day basics saving you a long trip into town. There is also a selection of pubs and restaurants nearby that are accessible on foot. Why not support your local community and economy by ‘living locally’.
