Hello,
Wantage New Cycle Route. Several years ago HarBUG proposed a new cycle route to Wantage connecting the villages along the A417; the Hendreds and Ardington. This project has funding but has been stalled for a couple of years. The County Council are currently in discussions with landowners, these discussions are sensitive so we don’t know any details about where the final route will run. As soon as we have information we can pass on we will but the project is ongoing.
Didcot Garden Town. The delivery plan for Didcot Garden Town is open for consultation until 31st July. It mentions cycling in quite a few places. It is a large document but the main places for cycling are contained in:
- Executive Summary
- Cycling featured as on the Early Priority Projects (p62)
- The main section on ‘Transport’ (p97) including cycling on many pages but particularly p118-119
HarBUG will be putting in a response but please also support cycling in the Garden Town with an individual responses. The report and appendices can be downloaded from: Didcot Garden Town
A34 Link. Last year HarBUG and the Oxfordshire Cycling Network put in a bid to the Highways Agency to get a path built alongside the A34 linking the Chilton Junction with the Ridgeway Junction. Our bid was supported by Oxfordshire County Council and West Berkshire Council. We have had no updates on the bid as yet.
