Meir Primary Care Centre
AXIS prepared a detailed Transport Assessment and Travel Plan to support the development of a new £11m Primary Care Centre development serving the Meir area of Stoke-on-Trent. The facility brings together six existing local GP surgeries onto one site, along with other supporting primary care practitioners including a base for local district nursing and other peripatetic staff. The project represents a landmark development at the heart of the Meir District Centre and provides almost 3,000sqm of floor space.
To support the project AXIS undertook a travel survey exercise of almost 900 staff / patient respondents. The results of this survey formed the basis of a package of Travel Plan measures to help manage travel demand to the site and allow the building of a bespoke patient demand model and car parking profile. AXIS work also included local network capacity modelling and discussions with the Highways Agency with regard to impact on the nearby A50 trunk road corridor.
