Homeowners in Didcot gave feedback on the ‘garden town’ plans asking for better cycle routes, a community feel and better services.
In 2015, the Government awarded Didcot ‘garden town’ status, endorsing the delivery of 15,000 new jobs and 20,000 new homes in the area.
According to the developers the concept of a ‘garden town’ encompasses the idea of building a ‘complete and wholesome’ place to live. The ‘garden town’ development should have a clear identity, green space, integrated transport, and well-designed homes.
The Residents Sounding Board is one of three groups set up by Vale of White Horse and South Oxfordshire District Councils to collate direct feedback to the advisory board on important topics for residents living and working within Didcot and the wider garden town area.
