Car Clubs
Travelling by car is an increasingly expensive mode of transport, with petrol prices soaring and an increasing concern over CO2 emissions, St James has begun exploring ways to reduce our dependency on cars, and utilise them more efficiently.
Car Club :
Streetcar positions cars in pairs or small groups across high-density residential and business districts. Members receives a smart 'streetcard' which, in use with a unique PIN/Membership number combination, allows them to book and pick up any one of the vehicles in the fleet 24/7, 365 days a year. Booking is quick and easy over the phone or online.
St James has entered into a partnership with Streetcar to provide cars for hire at Queen Mary's Place. To help you enjoy the benefits of Streetcar, St James will pay for a year's membership for each household that wishes to try the scheme. A reference number in your Information Pack will entitle you to this offer when you sign up.

Car Sharing Scheme :
This is particularly useful for commuting, leisure, shopping and school trips. Schemes of this kind reduce congestion, thus cutting CO2 emissions and journey times, in addition to saving money in petrol costs. Visit the CarShare website for access to these schemes and their financial and social benefits.
