Your opportunity to shape the future for Chippenham town centre

Residents and businesses are being invited to share their views and ideas on the development of a new and comprehensive Town Centre Masterplan for Chippenham to help boost Chippenham’s economy, enhance the environment and celebrate the town’s heritage.

The Chippenham Town Centre Partnership Board has produced the One Plan for Chippenham, which begins the process of bringing together existing plans and proposals into a single plan specifically focused on making things happen.

The One Plan draws on the Town Council’s Neighbourhood Plan as well as work undertaken by the Town Team and other community stakeholders. It takes on board the aspirations of landowners and the town centre business community.

The One Plan has purposely focused on several key projects that would boost the economy and support the vibrancy and sustainability of the town centre.

Many of these schemes are focused on features that make Chippenham such a wonderful place to live, work and play. These include beautiful natural settings such as the river, Chippenham’s historic heritage and making more of our town centre spaces and regeneration opportunities.

Through the public consultation, the Board aims to seek as many views as possible from a wide range of stakeholders to shape the Chippenham Town Centre Masterplan. All information can be found on www.wiltshire.gov.uk/ChippenhamOnePlan

The consultation survey can be completed online at www.wiltshire.gov.uk/ChippenhamOnePlan. If anyone requires help completing the survey or would like the consultation material provided as a paper copy or in a different format, please contact Customer Services on 0300 456 0100.
