Didcot Garden Town Delivery Plan

We’ve revised our Didcot Garden Town Delivery Plan programme in 2022 to help improve the lives of residents living in and around Didcot Garden Town. It focuses on providing community benefits, a retail recovery strategy, encourage healthy lifestyles and help to tackle climate change.

Revised programme

Our Delivery Plan was published in 2017 and throughout the garden town seeks to introduce more green spaces, trees, gardens, sustainable technology, walking and cycling pathways connecting routes to town, railway station and large business parks.

Didcot Garden Town Advisory Board

The whole project is managed by the garden town team and overseen by the Didcot Garden Town Advisory Board. The advisory board is made up of representatives from South Oxfordshire and Vale of White Horse district councils, the county and town council, a parish council representative, OxLEP and Homes England. The board meet quarterly with all meetings open to the public.

Sounding boards

The Didcot Garden Town has three ‘sounding boards’, which represents the community, business and neighbouring parishes.

Residents Sounding Board

This board was set up to help us gather feedback and information from people living and working in and around the Didcot Garden Town area.

Parish Sounding Board

This board was set up to help us listen and talk to our 18 neighbouring parish councils around the garden town.

Business Sounding Board

Our Business Sounding Board was set up to help us support businesses based in and around the garden town and local business parks.

Local cycle routes

Cycling UK Oxfordshire has created an interactive online cycling map of low and no traffic routes for everyone to use in and around the whole county. You can find the maps and other useful information on their online cycling map.
