Active Oxfordshire is working with partners and local communities to make sure that access to physical activity and sport play a key role in the shaping and development of these Healthy New Towns. This includes prioritising active travel and ensuring walking and cycling routes are safe and accessible such as Bicester Blue Lines, Health Walks and much more.
