Our achievements

How we're making a difference

Chicane barrier removals

We are overseeing and funding the removal of chicane barriers from the town's shared-use paths, to make these accessible to all legitimate users.

We have removed the majority of these chicane barriers from the existing cycle network, and are working to secure the removal of newly installed barriers on various new development cycleways.

Better cycling provision on new developments

Our constructive approach to working with councillors, developers, planners, highways development control engineers, has seen us secure a variety of improvements to the cycle provision on and around new developments, including:

Lidl Pewsham
Aldi Methuen Park
Ambulance Station redevelopment
Barrow Farm development
Gate Farm development
Esso Bath Road redevelopment

New and expanded cycle parking

We've added cycle parking at numerous locations around the town, including:

Town Bridge
New Road Post Office
Station Hill Sainsbury's
Redland shops
Lowden Hill shops
Market Place One Stop shop
The Bridge

And more coming soon!

Cepen Park North cycleway improvements

To create a continuous, car-free cycle link from Bumpers Farm through Cepen Park North to Morrisons, we have made a variety of signage and accessibility improvements.

These will tie in with the new cycle crossings being provided as part of the A350 works at Bumpers Farm.

Further improvements are in the pipeline to improve access to Sheldon and Hardenhuish Schools, and to create links onwards towards Birds Marsh.

Sarum Road: Cycle path access improvements and signage

BEFORE: There was no easy way to access the shared-use path that runs into Cepen Park South, and the path wasn't signed as shared use.

AFTER: Paid for using a Chippenham Area Board grant, we arranged the installation of a dropped kerb and the widening of the pavement, enabling easier access for all, as well as shared-use signage.

Bath Road: Extension of shared-use path towards town centre

BEFORE: The shared-use path ended at the Bath Road industrial estate. Wiltshire Council identified a sum of money available from a local development, and we pinpointed the extension of the path towards the town centre as a priority.
