Walking and Cycling

Walking and cycling around Peddimore couldn't be easier.

A network of footway and cycleways runs throughout the site along the internal estate roads. A circular recreational route through the development's landscaping can make a practical journey into something relaxing and enjoyable.

info Click on the map markers to view active travel connections around the site, and to view key local amenities.

These Active Travel routes connect with the wider area's pedestrian and cycle network via:

• a traffic-free bridge across the A38 to link with Walmley Ash Lane (and the wider Langley SUE in future);
• connections to Wishaw Lane, Wiggins Hill Road and Cottage Lane.

Birmingham City Council are looking to implement Active Travel improvements in the area. These have been developed with the help of a financial contribution by IM Properties, and the routes can be viewed by toggling the checkboxes below.

These include pedestrian and cycle improvements:

• on Walmley Ash Lane;
• towards Sutton Coldfield, Wylde Green and Chester Road railway stations;
• on Cottage Lane to improve links to the canal;
• and a new toucan crossing to access the Minworth Retail Park.

info Toggle the checkboxes below to view Birmingham City Council's proposed off-road and on-road Active Travel improvement routes in the area.

In future, there will be a new mobility hub in the north-west corner of the site. We will provide staff and visitors with further information about this and any other site-wide active travel facilities and schemes as they come forward.

Individual occupiers may also provide their own schemes for employees, such as Cycle to Work. Check with your employer to find out what benefits may be available to you.

Public Transport

Public transport is an attractive way to travel to and from Peddimore, as shown by a recent travel survey where 28% of employees responded to say they travelled by bus.

There are several bus stops on site, each located so that every building will be within a 400 metre walk of the Peddimore bus services. Each of the outbound bus stops includes shelters with seating and real-time timetable information.

Both the 64/x64 and 68 bus services enter Peddimore via the A38. In future, as the Langley SUE is developed, buses will be able to travel across the A38 to access bus stops within it.

There are several more bus stops within a short walking distance of Peddimore. These are located on Lindridge Drive, to the east of the Minworth Island which provides access to the 77a bus service (Erdington - Sutton Coldfield - Walsall). The 71 and 76 bus services are also available from bus stops a short distance south of here on the A4097 Kingsbury Road arms of the Minworth Island.

The new Cross-City Package 4 bus route will run from Longbridge to Sutton Coldfield town centre via Peddimore and Langley. This route will be served by a new fleet of reduced and zero-emissions buses, and will reduce the need for passengers to change in the City Centre.

Driving More Sustainably

A key way to reduce car journeys to and from the site is to encourage car sharing. Often the driver is the only person in the car, and we can make journeys more sustainable by carrying passengers who would otherwise drive their own vehicles.

A recent travel survey shows car sharing is a popular way to travel to and from Peddimore, with an average of 43% of those employees driving a car to work also carrying a passenger. This is encouraged by a car share scheme to help employees match with someone to share a car with. If you participate in this car share scheme, you will have dedicated parking within the development. For more details of the car share scheme, get in touch with your employer, who will be able to give you more information.

info Click on the map markers for more information about car parking facilities available on site.

As more people switch to electric vehicles, it is becoming more important to provide the infrastructure that enables this. Occupiers will provide charging points on site, which will help enable their staff and visitors to make the switch to a more sustainable vehicle.

In addition to cars, the provision of secure motorcycle parking and CCTV will give you the security of mind that your bike will be safe if you drive it to the site. If more bikes are used to commute to Peddimore, congestion on the roads nearby will reduce.

As site occupation grows, provision will be made for facilities that make access to the site easier and more sustainable, such as car club parking spaces, and electric bike / electric scooter provision. We will provide more information about these facilities and schemes as they come forward.
