We are a rural community with limited public transport, only one local shop, one Primary School, a Social Club and no discernable employment. This therefore has the impact of being a commuter community with most people relying on their own cars for all essential requirements. Our goal is to significantly increase the proportion of people that travel by walking, cycling and where possible use public transport. The benefits of this include improving local health and well being and making a cleaner environment.

Actions:

• We recognize the need for an improved public transport system, and the improvement and provision of safe cycle routes and walkways. To reduce emissions from conventional cars and encourage electric vehicles; to enable this look to install communal electric car charging points.

• Ensure that the existing footpaths and walkways in the parish are safe for pedestrians.

• Support the work of the Winchester City Council Carbon Neutral Plan.

• Try and work towards encouraging and promoting a car share scheme.
