WALKING
Walking is one of the cheapest, easiest, and simplest forms of transport, which is boosted by there being a range of shops and services accessible within a short walk from New Lane.
It also offers the greatest potential to replace short car and public transport trips, particularly those under a 2-kilometre distance. It provides a healthy alternative to the private car and typically forms a component of many journeys made by public transport or by car.
Direct walking links are provided which connect New Lane to the local area. It is easy to walk to local facilities with pavements, footpaths and walking links along local roads to ensure you can safely walk around the town on foot.
