Wokingham Borough Connect
 Survey on cycling and walking route continues
We want your views on the second stage of a proposed cycling and walking link from Wokingham town to Winnersh, this time between Emmbrook Road to Mill Close on the A329 Reading Road.
We’re consulting until Thursday, 21 December on this section, which we hope will form part of a new 1.6-mile (2.5km) route along the main road.
It’s one of many improvements outlined in our Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan (LCWIP) and would be externally funded, with design work already paid for through the Government’s Active Travel Fund.
This second phase, incorporating Woosehill Spine Road junction, could include new toucan crossings to help you to cross the roundabout safely, either on foot or by bike, without having to use the subway.
If work goes ahead, the full route would run from Sadler’s Lane, near the M4 overbridge at Winnersh, to the western end of Broad Street in Wokingham.
It would have a segregated cycle track, separate from both the pavement and the road, and other safety features. Traffic would remain two-way but the speed limit would be reduced to 30mph.
We're bringing you this special edition of the Active Travel newsletter to make sure you know about this consultation well before it closes. Your next regular edition will come out in mid-December as usual.
