Residents and businesses are being encouraged to not miss out and to share their thoughts on the development of a new and comprehensive Town Centre Masterplan for Chippenham before the consultation closes at 5pm on Tuesday 6 June 2023.
The Chippenham Town Centre Partnership Board has produced the Chippenham One Plan, which begins the process of bringing together existing plans and proposals into a single plan which will help boost Chippenham’s economy, enhance the environment and celebrate the town’s heritage.
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.
The Rt Hon Michelle Donelan MP for the Chippenham Constituency, said: “It is really important that you have a voice in shaping the future of our town. By giving us your feedback, we can make a community-led plan which will enable us to reshape our town centre with a coordinated approach. Please do pop to my office or the Town Hall to pick up a copy of the survey, which will enable you to have a voice in how we shape the town for future generations.”

So, we would strongly encourage anyone who has ideas on how the town centre should look in the future to read the consultation material and the complete the form. We want our town centres to be vibrant and sustainable in the future and now’s the opportunity for people to say whether the Chippenham One Plan contains the right concepts and schemes for Chippenham.”
