Signage outside of Winchester Sports and Leisure Centre: "Keep your bike secure"

Bike thefts in Winchester 2024

There was a welcome reduction last year in thefts from both Winchester city and the railway station (British Transport Police) following the drop the previous year. But thefts remain a big problem; earlier this month we heard of the theft of a brand new electric foldable bike from the supposedly secure compound at the station.

Two new bike buses launched

We are excited to announce two additional new buses! A second Oliver’s Battery Primary bus is now running on Friday mornings, meeting at 0820 at Old Kennels Close. Meanwhile, another group of parents has organised a bus from Abbots Barton to Barton Farm Primary, meeting at Austen Close at 0810 on Fridays.
