The Charter

We, the people, businesses, organisations, institutions and educational establishments of Bridgwater want our historic town and surrounding countryside to be vibrant, sustainable and healthy places in which to live, work, do business, study and thrive.

We want to see a Bridgwater where…

  • Children and students can safely cycle to school and college.
  • People can easily and safely cycle to work.
  • Residents find it convenient to use a bicycle for shopping or to visit any of the town’s leisure and hospitality venues.
  • Cyclists of all ages and abilities feel confident to be on the roads.
  • Our roads and public spaces prioritise people and make cycling the safe, natural choice for a large proportion of everyday journeys.

We believe that better provision for cycling can…

  • Be instrumental in addressing Bridgwater’s challenges of reducing congestion, achieving carbon neutrality, improving air quality and managing the effects of population growth.
  • Make public transport and essential car journeys much more efficient.
  • Allow Bridgwater’s rich cultural heritage to be enjoyed in an environment that is more appealing to both residents and visitors.
  • Encourage people to be more active to improve their physical and mental well-being, thus reducing the burden on local health and care services.
  • Support business by boosting the health and productivity of the workforce.
  • Bring lasting local economic benefit.

We want to support and encourage our local leaders…

  • To make decisions that deliver this better future for everyone in Bridgwater: children, students, working people, retired people, schools, colleges, businesses, institutions and organisations of all sizes
