Travel & Transport
Portbury Avonmouth Severnside benefits from a deep water port, excellent motorway and rail links, and proximity to markets with 67% of the UK population within 250km
In contrast, travel and transport into and across the area for many colleagues and residents can be a major challenge.
The area needs rapid improvements to public transport and active travel to alleviate reliance on car travel, address transport poverty, improve the attractiveness of journeys to work, and support decarbonisation of transport.
SevernNet actively engages with our communities, local authorities and stakeholders to seek improvements.
