Car Club report for Newcastle City Council (06.03.08)
TPS were commissioned by Newcastle City Council to investigate and report upon the opportunity and means by which the City Council could establish a Car Club in the city.
The brief of this commission was to advise the City Council upon the key issues surrounding the introduction of a Car Club, based primarily upon a review of existing guidance and relevant case studies.
The report, which was completed this week, seeks to outline the options and suggest a way forward along which the City Council will have choices to make and objectives to identify.
