Accessibility - Transport

It is essential to ensure that wherever people live in the county, they have access to public services. The rural nature of much of Gloucestershire creates problems for people wanting to use centrally base services, and for agencies providing services to people in their own homes. To help the understanding of geographical accessibility issues there are several sources of data, both national and local, which have been used to provide the information below.

  • Our Accessibility Matrix (XLSX, 3.7 MB)  shows the drive and public transport journey times to key services in the county.
  • DISCLAIMER: Every 10 years, alongside the release of the Census data, the ONS redraw the boundaries for our statistical geographies. Approximately 10% of Lower Super Output Areas (LSOAs) in the county changed in 2021.  Data published before this date will use the old 2011 LSOAs and some government departments will continue to use the old 2011 LSOAs for a number of years. Following the release of the 2021 LSOAs the “Local Names” for each LSOA (e.g. WESTGATE 1) have changed, some areas may have the same Local Name but refer to different areas with different boundaries. When doing comparisons between different data sets please use the LSOA codes as well as the names to check whether areas are comparable, you can also check the 2011 and 2021 LSOA boundaries using our Boundary Atlas to view any boundary changes and name changes between 2011 and 2021.
  • Further information on the methodology applied to the calculations can be found in the Accessibility Matrix Metadata (PDF, 242.8 KB) .
