I am doing a spot of research, and would be very grateful for your help. Vote for as many options as are relevant to you. Comments and opinions posted are very welcome.

I've ticked everything except Doctor, Hospital, Leisure Centre and, inexplicably, Railway Station.

The latter was an error; I'm five minutes' walk from Montpelier train station - are you able to correct that? I couldn't work out how to.

The nearest hospital is 25 minutes' walk, and that's how I get there. I even walked in when I needed a little heart surgery a few years ago. Our doctor is 20 minutes' walk away, and again that's how I get there. Horfield Leisure Centre is a ten minute drive; it's been a while since we went there but the combination of easy parking and two kids in tow with swimming gear makes the car the easiest way. If I was going on my own I'd probably walk; I'd be happier not to park a bike there..

After I submitted my list I realised that there is indeed a leisure centre within 15 minutes walk (just beyonf Chippenham station) so 1 needs adding to the Leisure Centre numbers

Fair enough - I have now set it to allow you to change your vote if necessary.

Sorted 

Incidentally, I've ticked 'School' because there is a school within that radius - though neither of our kids goes there...

Every single one except a railway station.   You may consider that somewhat ironic!

Perhaps I should have also ticked workplace since for the time being (at least the next 6 months) I am working from home

None, except a subsidised rural bus twice a week !

Nearly all for me - including two stations.

My place of work is currently a short walk away - downstairs - but I left that one as it is not normally.

Most of mine are guesstimates, as I don't walk but cycle.

Lee, don't know what the parameters of your research are, but are you aware of
https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/journey-time-statistics-data-tables-jts
the lower super output area ones will cover some local requirements.
Apologies if this is stale news.

I do get those through, but as you can imagine,I by no means analyse or study every single one, and it's great to be pointed to exactly what I need - Thanks CyclingSid

Submitted. Most are definitely less than 15 minutes walk but there's about 3 or 4 which Google Maps tells me are 15-19 minutes walk away but I walk fast and am confident I can do it quicker than that.

[Richard Fairhurst]

Everything but the hospital. (A little-known 80s indie band.) Not bad for a little town of just 3000 residents. It does depend on the definition of supermarket, I guess.

I ticked everything but the cycle route, because I wasn't sure what counts as a cycle route. Workplace was a bit of a cheat though, as I work from home. And some of them are somewhat irrelevant, such as restaurant; there is restaurant about 5 minutes walk away that has a very good reputation, but I've never actually been there... (Serious question, should we tick facilities which exist but which we never use?)
