Jessica Fox-Taylor
Bath and North East Somerset
I have worked in Bath and North East Somerset for 8 years; have an undergraduate in Psychology and previous experience working as a journalist for local newspapers. The Local Sustainable Transport Fund was the ideal opportunity to combine this skill set to support behaviour change through engagement, marketing and infrastructure. The cycle hire project we re-booted in central Bath took all of these elements into account when specifying and marketing a product that tidily slotted into the local niche we identified. As I prepare my dissertation proposal for an Msc in Transportation Planning it is perhaps no surprise that Cycle Hire is the main focus.

Max Jowett
Wheels 2 Work
Max Jowett has been delivering Wheels 2 Work Programmes for 15 years in Devon, in 2013 the opportunity arose to deliver a brand new scheme in East Sussex. The programme was funded by the Local Sustainable Transport Fund administered by East Sussex County Council and went through a competitive tendering process.
East Sussex Wheels 2 Work was set up as a Social Enterprise from day one with the express intention of achieving financial sustainability. During its first year of operation it was so successful that it won the accolade of Social Enterprise of the Year in the ‘Sussex Oscars’ (Sussex Business Awards).
The programme grew incredibly quickly exceeding all expectations and was undoubtedly driven by the years of development behind the parent programme based in Devon. The Devon programme provides support and expertise on a daily basis and provided the staff training and all associated business systems to ensure that the new business hit the ground running.
Three years on the programme is doing well, it has hit all of its financial targets and is progressing well within the original five year business plan. We are currently running at around 60% financial sustainability but still rely on financial support for at least another two years.
