Your Vision for the Aldershot Mobility Hub

As the area around the Aldershot GO develops over the next 20+ years we want to know…

What’s here that you value and want to

protect?

What’s here that you do and/or do not want

more of?

What’s not here but should be?

We’ll be asking these questions at four different stations in the room each with their own focus:

1. PUBLIC PLACES

2. PRIVATE SPACES

3. GETTING AROUND

4. COMMUNITY FEATURES & AMENITIES

Your Vision for the Aldershot Mobility Hub (cont’d)

WHAT’S HERE THAT YOU VALUE AND WANT TO PROTECT?
