The RAC Regional Control Centre is an operations and administrative facility located in Bradley Stoke, England. Designed by Grimshaw Architects and completed in 1994, it serves as the South West regional headquarters for RAC Limited. The building forms part of Almondsbury Business Park at the northern edge of the Bristol North Fringe. It is one of the RAC’s three principal regional centres, the others being located at Bescot and Stretford. While Bescot serves as the primary operations hub for vehicle breakdown response, the Bradley Stoke site accommodates administrative and customer service functions. When fully staffed, the building supports approximately 800 employees.

Stoke Lodge

Stoke Lodge is a suburb of Bristol, England, developed in the 1950s and early 1960s on farmland to the south of Patchway Common, South Gloucestershire and east of the A38 trunk road. Although the busy London to South Wales railway forms the south-western boundary of the estate, the sound of the trains is moderated by the railway tracks being within a cutting. The new town of Bradley Stoke lies immediately to the east, whilst the suburb of Little Stoke is on its southern edge. Stoke Lodge housing is mostly chalet bungalows, but there is a fairly large bungalow estate in the north. Stoke Lodge takes its name from the old lodge house on Stoke Lane, an access road that runs through the estate. Part of the original walled lodge served for many years as a local dairy. There is a primary school, and adult learning centre.An interchange on the A38 allows traffic from Cribbs Causeway, Patchway, etc. to cross the trunk road freely and gain access to the estate. There is, however, no direct road link between Stoke Lodge and Bradley Stoke. Traffic can also enter Stoke Lodge from Little Stoke via Stoke Lane or Station Road. Although geographically separated from the more heavily populated Patchway Estate, Stoke Lodge is part of the Patchway postal district. Until recently Stoke Lodge was also part of Patchway town. However, on 1 April 2015 the area became part of the new parish of Stoke Lodge and The Common (originally known as Patchway Common).
