I've ticked everything except Doctor, Hospital, Leisure Centre and, inexplicably, Railway Station.
The latter was an error; I'm five minutes' walk from Montpelier train station - are you able to correct that? I couldn't work out how to.
The nearest hospital is 25 minutes' walk, and that's how I get there. I even walked in when I needed a little heart surgery a few years ago. Our doctor is 20 minutes' walk away, and again that's how I get there. Horfield Leisure Centre is a ten minute drive; it's been a while since we went there but the combination of easy parking and two kids in tow with swimming gear makes the car the easiest way. If I was going on my own I'd probably walk; I'd be happier not to park a bike there..

Things take longer to happen than you think they will, and then they happen faster than you thought they could.

After I submitted my list I realised that there is indeed a leisure centre within 15 minutes walk (just beyonf Chippenham station) so 1 needs adding to the Leisure Centre numbers

Fair enough - I have now set it to allow you to change your vote if necessary.

Sorted  Incidentally, I've ticked 'School' because there is a school within that radius - though neither of our kids goes there... |

Every single one except a railway station. You may consider that somewhat ironic! |

Nearly all for me - including two stations. My place of work is currently a short walk away - downstairs - but I left that one as it is not normally. |

I do get those through, but as you can imagine,I by no means analyse or study every single one, and it's great to be pointed to exactly what I need - Thanks CyclingSid |

Submitted. Most are definitely less than 15 minutes walk but there's about 3 or 4 which Google Maps tells me are 15-19 minutes walk away but I walk fast and am confident I can do it quicker than that.

Everything but the hospital. (A little-known 80s indie band.) Not bad for a little town of just 3000 residents. It does depend on the definition of supermarket, I guess.

I ticked everything but the cycle route, because I wasn't sure what counts as a cycle route. Workplace was a bit of a cheat though, as I work from home. And some of them are somewhat irrelevant, such as restaurant; there is restaurant about 5 minutes walk away that has a very good reputation, but I've never actually been there... (Serious question, should we tick facilities which exist but which we never use?)
