A big thank you to everyone who responded to the Wantage Neighbourhood Plan Questionnaire late last year. Now your help is needed again! The first draft of the proposed Neighbourhood Plan has just been published for consultation. See link to Plan website:
Draft Wantage Neighbourhood Plan
The consultation period runs until FRIDAY 17th JULY. Hopefully this public consultation will re-inforce the message that cycling is a priority issue for Wantage.
The draft document refers to a specific Cycling Action Plan. HarBUG members are already involved with this. But we think the aspirations for cycling should be expressed more formally and forcefully in the Plan document itself. As a minimum, developers should be explicitly required to build fit-for-purpose cycle infrastructure, and the planning authorities should be explicitly required to examine planning applications for cycling content which conforms to proper standards.
PLEASE comment on the Draft Plan, using the link above, by FRIDAY 17th JULY.
Many thanks for you help.
