Movement and Place Plan: Bicester and Mid Cherwell

The Movement and Place (MAP) Plan for Bicester and Mid Cherwell is Oxfordshire County Council’s plan to improve local areas and transport. It aims to make public spaces better for the community and upgrade travel routes and infrastructure.

This Plan is a ‘live’ document, which means it will be updated regularly to keep up with changes and future growth. It includes ideas and projects for the next 25 years.

The intention is to support sustainable development, make it easier for people to get around, improve the environment, and help make life better for everyone who lives, works, or visits Bicester and Mid Cherwell.

This MAP Plan covers Bicester and the surrounding Mid Cherwell area. A map of the MAP Plan area is shown on page 6

We want to hear what you think about the MAP Plan for Bicester and Mid Cherwell, and how we can make it better.

We’re especially keen to hear your views on:

• The overall vision for the area
• The objectives set out in the MAP Plan

• How often we should review and update the plan

Your feedback will help shape the future of Bicester and Mid Cherwell.

Before you start the survey, we recommend having a look at the MAP Plan or the Summary document and infographic.

These give a helpful overview of what the plan is about.

But don’t worry—it’s not essential to read them before taking part.

This survey should take approximately 5 - 10 minutes to complete.

This consultation will run from Monday 3 November until Monday 1 December 2025 at 11.59 pm.

What happens after the consultation period?

Once the consultation ends, we’ll look at all the survey responses and any other feedback we’ve received. This will help us make improvements to the MAP Plan.

The updated plan will then be presented to the Council’s Cabinet in January for approval.

Once adopted, this will then replace Local Transport Plan Area Transport Strategy for the Bicester area (Connecting Oxfordshire - Area Strategies).
