“SWG3 is striving towards net zero and we want to bring our community along with us on this journey. […]Ansons Consulting brought their invaluable expertise and knowledge within the transport sector to help us [..]. Through consultation, they established a picture of how people travel to SWG3, what influences their choices, and what actions SWG3 can take to encourage everyone to travel more sustainably. Helpfully, we now have a series of actionable recommendations –short-term solutions and some longer term – which we are working towards. We wouldn’t hesitate in recommending them.”

Appeal Director / Strategic Impact Lead, SWG3

“We have worked with John Pinkard at Ansons […] at our scheme at Edinburgh Park. […] [I]t was essential we considered the connectivity, transport infrastructure and transport solution within the masterplan. […] [W]e were submitting […] the largest planning application the City of Edinburgh Council had received in over a decade. We were therefore delighted with the outcome […]and there is no doubt the transport approach played a significant part and contribution with the application. It was […] John’s skills and considerable experience which helped form our Transport plan and general approach to transport which not only secured the application, but also continues to this day […].

Managing Director, Parabola

We invited Ansons together with LUC to undertake a comprehensive feasibility study into this proposed [shared-use] path. Where we had previously struggled to fully engage with stakeholders and landowners we found that employing Ansons expertise was invaluable.  The community engagement we got from their online survey far exceeded our expectations.  Acting as a third party they were able to discuss the proposed route with landowners in a measured way and have helped to build relationships within the wider community. There is no doubt that we would work with Ansons in the future.”

“We have worked with Ansons on a number of projects and knew they would have the right approach with our free bikes pilots. They understood our local needs and represented those, in parallel with national programme ambition of Scottish Government. The outcomes of the work have informed our on-going delivery of the free bikes projects, and we are already implementing many of the recommendations this year.”

Active Travel Development Manager, FEL

“Our work with Ansons and BetterPoints, rewarding people for travelling in an active way or using public transport, has been a great asset for us as an area. It has helped us to achieve our goals such as reducing traffic congestion, with the added benefit of supporting local businesses too.”

Transport Planning Officer, Falkirk Council

“Transport is probably the biggest issue currently facing residents in Aberdeenshire especially those living in rural and isolated communities where access to everyday services is difficult and sometimes cost inhibitive for many. Ansons dug deep into what is currently happening in the shire and have identified workable solutions for our group to take forward. Ansons were professional, thorough and took time to get to know us and our landscape.”
