Your Travel in and around North Whiteley
We have just completed the North Whiteley Travel Survey. This survey has to be carried out every other year to meet the planning requirements of the North Whiteley development travel plan and is paid for by the developers.
This survey asked you, the community of North Whiteley, how you currently travel around North Whiteley and what might help you to travel in more active or environmentally friendly ways in the future. Your responses, along with our local partners, will help us shape future travel measures in the North Whiteley community.
The survey is now closed. We will be sharing the results in March.
