Winchester City Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plans

Hampshire Perspectives is the County Council’s residents’ forum.

This report summarises key findings from a survey that Hampshire Perspectives members were invited to participate in about walking and cycling in Winchester City Centre.

Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plans (LCWIPs) set out how we can make walking and cycling easier and safer in local areas. They take a long-term view, helping to create connected networks and supporting the national goal to get more people travelling on foot or by bike.

Between January and March 2025, Hampshire residents were invited to share their views on Winchester’s LCWIP proposals via an interactive website where they could:

• Express their opinions about walking and cycling within Winchester City
• Give feedback on proposed Core Walking Zone and cycling routes
• Drop a virtual ‘pin’ on a map to tell us what works – or what needs improving – about walking or cycling in a specific location

Key findings were as follows:

• The LCWIP proposed a Core Walking Zone, but you wanted to be able to walk to the core Walking Zone, not just within it.
• Some secondary cycle routes, or sections of them, needed upgrading to primary routes.

You can find out more about the LCWIP on our Strategic plans and policies webpage.
