As part of a pioneering approach to active, shared and environmentally-friendly mobility at the site, Hadley has developed a Sustainable Transport Hub for residents and visitors aimed at reducing the need to own and use a private car. Positioned in the centre of the development the Hub will become a focal point for the transport needs of residents and the immediate surrounding district and community. The Hub is designed to bring together services and features including; shared bikes and e-scooters, Brompton bike hire, e-cargo bike rental, discounted use of leased bikes, a café and a bike repair workshop, bike stands, information pillars and outdoor water bottle filling station. Electric car club cars will also be provided for the residents and information about these services will be displayed at the Hub.
