Thornbury at a glance
Thornbury sits within the BS35 postcode area, a few miles north of Bradley Stoke and Yate, on the edge of South Gloucestershire's countryside. Van & Driver is preparing to launch its van with driver and man and van service here, connecting people who need something moved with local partner drivers who take on the move at a fixed price agreed in advance. Once live, the service will cover the kinds of moves that come up throughout the year in a town like this: full house removals, single item pickups, furniture deliveries, tip runs and storage moves, along with student removals and marketplace collections for anyone buying or selling larger items nearby.
Thornbury residents already have several storage options close by, including Thornbury Self Storage on Kington Road and Old Dairy Storage, both within a couple of miles of the centre, while those clearing out unwanted items can look towards the recycling centres at Yate and Little Stoke, both a short drive away. For anyone with links to Bristol's universities, the University of the West of England's Frenchay Campus and the School of Architecture and Environment are also within reach, making van support useful for term-time moves as well as local house removals. When the service goes live, customers travelling between Thornbury and neighbouring towns such as Bradley Stoke, Yate, or Frampton Cotterell and Winterbourne will be able to see fixed prices for these routes before booking, covering everything from a single item to a full van load.
Thornbury had 14,483 people at the 2021 Census. The council's nearest recycling centre is Yate Sort It Recycling Centre, 5.6 miles away; a tip run with us goes to a licensed recycling centre, with the disposal in the price.
