The Wichelstowe Walking Competition ran through the summer of 2022 where we asked residents to submit their favourite walk in the Wichelstowe area.

The winning walks are now part of a new magazine, which is available from local libraries, and interactive maps for your phone.

The Wichelstowe travel plan has achieved silver accreditation from national organisation Modeshift.  This means that it has been recognised as a “very good” travel plan.  Now the work begins to increase this to gold, meaning it is “excellent”!

Congratulations to Wichelstowe resident Rhianna Taylor who receives a £100 Waitrose voucher as a prize from the resident travel survey.
