Title: NCN 5 near Didcot Post by: CyclingSid on January 14, 2022, 07:00:06 Quote On Monday 10 January construction began on upgrades to a stretch of public bridleway and active travel route in Long Wittenham, Oxfordshire. https://www.sustrans.org.uk/our-blog/news/2022/january/construction-begins-to-improve-active-travel-route-near-didcot/ (https://www.sustrans.org.uk/our-blog/news/2022/january/construction-begins-to-improve-active-travel-route-near-didcot/)Only 800m, but the photo suggests it needs it. Can't say I use the route between Reading and Didcot, but Oxfordshire County Council has been doing quite a bit to improve cycle routes in the Didcot area. The Hanson Way between Didcot and Oxford is much improved. They have also improved the route(s) between Didcot and Harwell/Chilton, although I have not been that way since the start of Covid. Title: Re: NCN 5 near Didcot Post by: Richard Fairhurst on January 14, 2022, 11:51:58 We're getting towards the stage where there'll be an almost completely traffic-free cycle route between Witney/Hanborough and Abingdon, and mostly traffic-free from there on to Didcot and Long Wittenham. Oxfordshire cycling provision continues to be a curate's egg but there's some good stuff happening at last.
