Didcot Garden Town case study

Since becoming a garden town in 2017 we’ve been working with partners to help improve the lives of everyone living in and around the town.

In partnership with Homes England, we are pleased to share a Didcot Garden Town case study that shows how we’ve helped develop strategies and plans for the town, how we overcome challenges over the past six years and what we’ve learnt along the way.

Didcot Wildlife Garden Charter

We’ve partnered with Sustainable Didcot to help highlight a Didcot Wildlife Garden Charter to encourage everyone to pledge to help the wildlife thrive in their own garden.

With just a few simple steps you can help create green corridors to help enhance the biodiversity in the local area. You can get involved by visiting Sustainable Didcot’s website.

On your Doorstep walking map available

We’ve worked together with Didcot Town Council, local parish councils, community groups and centres to create a ‘On your Doorstep’ map of interesting things. This beautiful map illustrates some of art works, trails and cultural and historical places in and around Didcot Garden Town. You can also pick up a paper copy at Cornerstone in Didcot.
