Feedback will inform new initiatives to help residents feel more comfortable using these methods to get around the borough.

Three events over the next few weeks offer the chance for the community to meet the team, ask questions, and fill out the survey:

• Wednesday 30th September, 1.00pm-3.00pm at YourSpace Gosport, 51-52 High St, PO12 1DF
• Tuesday 13th October, 4.00pm-6.00pm at Gosport Leisure Centre, Forest Way, PO13 0ZX
• Wednesday 28th October, 11.00am-1.00pm, Lee Hub – Independent Community Library, 14 High St, PO13 9BZ

An online version of the survey also runs until Monday 2 November: https://app.onlinesurveys.jisc.ac.uk/s/sustrans/gosport-active-travel-survey

After completing the anonymous survey, participants are invited to leave their contact details to be entered into a prize draw. A winner will be randomly selected after the closing date to win a £30 shopping voucher.

The survey is being run by the Walk Wheel Cycle Trust (formerly Sustrans) on behalf of Hampshire County Council and Gosport Borough Council. The survey asks how residents currently travel around the borough and what barriers prevent them from walking, cycling or wheeling more often. “Wheeling” includes any wheeled mobility aid, or modes of transport like scooters and skateboards.

Councillor Zoe Huggins, Leader of Gosport Borough Council, said: ” Whether you regularly cycle, walk to the shops, use a mobility scooter, or mainly travel by car, we want to hear from you. Your feedback will help us understand what changes would make it easier and safer to get around Gosport, so I encourage everyone to take a few minutes to complete the survey and share their views.”
