Click.Collect.CleanAir.
A new website has been launched which aims to help London’s online shoppers redirect their parcel deliveries from their workplaces, thereby reducing some of the inner city traffic congestion. The website (www.clickcollect.london) comes from the Cross River Partnership (CRP), a public-private initiative which brings together businesses and government bodies to develop regeneratin projects in the city.
In a statement issued on Friday (2 December), the CRP’s Air Quality Project Manager Brendon Harper said: “With up to 40% of workplace deliveries being personal parcels, alternative ‘click & collect’ delivery services such as Amazon Lockers, CollectPlus, Doddle, HubBox and Parcelly can help reduce congestion and improve air quality in central London.
“Our new website maps the location of collection points of five service providers, making it simple for users to identify their most convenient collection point. It also provides discounted deliveries and free trial memberships for the paid-for services.”
The website has been developed through CRP’s Clean Air Better Business (CABB) programme and is available to CABB partners “to brand and promote as their own”.
