The map should complement, rather than replicate, tools such as Google Maps — focusing on curated exploration, storytelling, and place experience, while allowing users to link out to external navigation where needed. Key aims: • Support increased footfall and dwell time within the town centre. • Help visitors and residents navigate Witney clearly and confidently. • Improve legibility by making routes, destinations, and amenities easy to understand. • Reinforce Witney’s identity and character, including its markets, heritage, green spaces, and riverside setting.
