3.7 Strategy Measure D: Enhan ce routes from accommodation sites to busstops an d bus stop in frastructure3.7.1 The benefit of proximity to a bus service is greatly reduced if the walkingroute to the bus stop is arduous or dangerous, and if the quality of the busstop infrastructure is poor. Whilst a detailed audit of walking routes and busstops has not been und ertaken, there are locations which could be improved.3.7.2 An audit of pedestrian access from camping and caravan sites to bus stopswould be useful for medium and large campsites where the nearest bus stop iswell used (or has the potential to be well used). Such an audit would identifyroutes where pedestrian improvements would be desirable, such as footwayson critical sections of highway, measures to reduce traffic speed, installationof pedestrian crossings, and investigating new Rights of Way or permittedpaths. An examp le of a pedestrian access checklist that could be used for thestudy area appears as Appendix B.3.7.3 The audit of pedestrian access would also identify bus stops that requireinfrastructure improvements. At a basic level this would mean ensuring everybus stop allows waiting passengers space to stand off the highway. It shouldalso ensure that all useful bus stops actually exist in some physical form (flag,timetable, hardstanding, etc as appropriate) so as to provide a visual cue tovisitors that a local bus service exists (see also Chapter 6 on bus information).3.8 Strategy Measure E: Improve visitors’ aw areness of local bus services atcamping an d caravan sites3.8.1 Regardless of how near or frequent bus services are to camping and caravansites, their use relies on visitors’ knowledge that they exist, where and whenthey run to and how to use them. Whilst good practice in the provision ofpublic transport information is set out in detail in Chapter 6 of this report,below are suggestions specific to promoting bus services on camping andcaravan sites.3.8.2 Although some of the camping and caravan sites on the Jurassic Coast alreadygive out useful pub lic transport information to their guests, the quality andquantity of information is variable. DeCC and DoCC could take a proactivestance and contact selected sites to dispense travel planning advice to helpsites. The travel p lanning advice could include information regarding:Doc No 3 Rev: B Date: November 2008 57G:\Final Report Web version\CTR-ADA Study Report Rev9.4. doc
- Noticeboards giving site-specific information on public transport links,location of bus stops and the best walking routes to reach them;- Travel information packs for visitors;- Training staff to advise visitors on public transport;- On-site discounted day tickets through agreements with the relevant busoperators; and- Co-ordination with neighbouring sites to provide improved transport.3.8.3 A travel planning approach of this nature is equally applicable to well-servedsites (increasing patronage onto existing services; achieving a shift away fromcar use) and those medium and large sites that are relatively inaccessib le bybus (where working in partnership an identify opportunities to improve thetransport situation). The travel planning guidance dispensed to sites shouldhighlight how sites can liaise with local transport operators to provide shuttleservices in high season, perhaps in collaboration with neighbouring sites. Theexamp le of the service in the Fleet area operated by Wessex Bus could behighlighted as an examp le of good practice.Good Practice exampleThe Bagwell Farm, West Fleet Farm, Sea Barn Farm and East Fleet campingand caravan sites are served by a shuttle bus service run by Wessex Bus.The service is a joint venture between the caravan sites and local b usoperator Wessex Bus. The service operates in July and August only, and theoccasional Bank Holiday outside of high season. Four return journeys a dayare operated between the sites and Weymouth, and the service makes nointermediate stops.3.9 Summary an d Recommen dations3.9.1 Despite the largely rural nature of the study area, a majority of camping orcaravan sites are within 1000m of a b us stop and a majority have access to anhourly or better bus service 13 .13 Whilst most sites are both w ithin 1000m of a bus stop and hav e an hourly service, some have one but not the otherDoc No 3 Rev: B Date: November 2008 58G:\Final Report Web version\CTR-ADA Study Report Rev9.4. doc
