Preferential parking for Colchester car sharers

LoveurCarColchester has just launched their latest project to encourage car sharing into the town centre

Starting this month, you can benefit from dedicated car sharing bays in preferential locations in five town centre car parks. These are in St. Marys, St. Johns, Priory Street, Britannia and Vineyard Street car parks.

You can’t miss the colourful bays, as they are painted green with a red outline. They will soon also have a heart with 2+ in the middle! There are also signs near the bays explaining what they are all about and they are all located close to the entrance of each car park.

As you know, car sharing is a great way to save fuel, reduce congestion and drive in a greener way.

All you need to do to sign up to use the bays is to go to our LUC Car Share Permit page, fill in the form, and we will post you a FREE permit. It’s all very straightforward, so take advantage of this scheme and start car sharing today!

You will still need to pay normal parking fees or display your season ticket, but remember you could be sharing your parking and fuel costs with your car share partner/s. For tips on setting up a car share check out the LoveurCarColchester website.

Can you change one thing…?

LoveurcarColchester appeals to drivers to change one thing about how they drive.

Can you make a change?

The LoveurcarColchester website has lots of hints and tips to green up your driving as well as reduce your fuel bill.  Purdy, Baz and Bob regularly blog about issues of interest to drivers. You can subscribe for blog alerts HERE.

It is National Liftshare week.  Sharing your journey to work is a great sociable and cost effective way to reduce the cost of your commute while contributing to reducing traffic congestion. Many Travel Plan Club members also offer dedicated parking bays for car sharers too.

Loveurcarcolchester is celebrating lift sharing throughout October!

There are twenty £15 iTune vouchers up for grabs. Try a car share trip and tell Loveurcarcolchester how it went and how much you saved and you could be a winner!

So talk to your friends, colleagues and neighbours and see if you can find someone to try a car share trip to work with. If you are happy to look online visit www.essex.liftshare.com
