When the doors to the Future Skills Centre closed in early summer, poor transport links were cited among the reasons for the facility’s demise.

And gripes about the town’s public transport links haven’t been rare, with ongoing calls for an improved bus service between W&B, Farnham and Haslemere.

But residents could change all that – and win a prize in the process – by taking part in a crucial survey with feedback shaping a Travel Plan.

The town council and the Whitehill & Bordon Living Streets Group are among the organisations who have urged locals to take part in the survey before it closes this weekend.

Fifteen minutes is all it takes but the data from the Whitehill & Bordon Regeneration Company-funded survey will help Hampshire County Council and its partners plan for the future.

“We’re asking anyone who lives, works or travels into W&B to complete the survey as the data will be crucial in guiding the transport strategy for the town,” said Rachel Rombough, Living Streets coordinator.

“Your responses, in collaboration with our local partners, will help us to plan and provide activities and measures that will benefit the W&B community.”

Residents have until the stroke of midnight this Sunday while people who complete the survey can also enter a prize draw to win a £100 voucher for The Pavilion at BOSC.
