Whitchurch

Whitchurch has a population of around 10,000 people, with the most densely populated areas in the southeast of the town. 

At the time of the 2011 census, more than a quarter of residents in Whitchurch had commutes of under 2km and a third were under 5km. However, only 20% of residents said they would walk or cycle to work. 

Whitchurch has a relatively hilly town centre which creates challenges for accessibility and makes cycling less attractive. The narrow streets result in narrow pavements and blind corners. 

The current cycling network is fragmented. There is an opportunity to upgrade and join up the existing network to improve accessibility within the town.

Mapping

Using the green button below, you can take a look at an overview map of the proposed new cycling and walking routes for Whitchurch. The map also gives you access to the relevant survey to have your say on the proposals for the town.

Some of the information we're presenting on our maps may not be entirely accessible for all audiences. We're therefore offering the following alternative ways of finding out more about our plans...

• An in-person roadshow at each of the seven towns (9 – 12 May)
• Two online webinars covering the proposals for each of the seven towns (6pm on 18 and 25 May)
• Workshops with schools to get the opinions of children and young people (w/c 19 June, details TBC)
