 Staying active – last chance to take survey
Our survey on being and staying physically active closes this Sunday (12 April).
By taking part you’ll help us understand people’s habits and importantly, what stops you being active in the borough.
You might love going walking, gardening, running or something else. However you stay or would like to stay active, we want to hear from you and make physical activity more accessible for everyone.
 Help identify roads for lower speed limits
We want to hear your suggestions for roads or areas in the borough, where a lower speed limit could be introduced.
You can share your suggestions with us until 1 May and help identify the potential priorities for the first year of this programme.
We want to use a new speed limit policy, we adopted in January, to introduce safer speed limits across the borough, particularly where pedestrians, cyclists and children are at risk.

Shape how proposed village will look
You can give us your views on the draft design code for the proposed Loddon Valley Garden Village.
We’ve currently received two planning applications for the site, which include proposals for thousands of new homes, schools, green spaces, shops and more.
A design code is a set of rules which guide what a place should look and feel like. It helps decide, for example, how streets are laid out, where green spaces go and how residents will move around.
Have your say on the Loddon Valley Garden Village design code until 11 May.
 Support for young families – have your say
We want to hear from young families in the borough about the support they'd like to see offered in our relaunched children’s centres.
New ‘Best Start’ family hubs aim to make it easier for young families to find the support they need, when they need it – all under one roof.
The hubs are aimed at young families from pregnancy, through early years and up to when children are 19, or 25 for young people with special educational needs and disabilities.
Have your say until 3 May.

Woodley parking restrictions – give your views
Parking restrictions are currently being trialled, in support of a new cycle lane linking Woodley town centre to Palmer Park in Reading.
They’ve been introduced under what’s called an experimental Traffic Regulation Order, when regular users of the route can have their say until 2 October. What, if any, impacts have you experienced after the restrictions’ introduction?
In Woodley, double yellow lines have been painted along Woodlands Avenue between Lytham Road and Roslyn Road. There’s no waiting or loading along the northern side of this section of the cycle route, and no waiting along the southern side.
Other chances to have your say
The Government’s Department for Transport wants to know what you think about learner drivers having to complete a minimum learning period, before being allowed to take their practical driving test.
Currently, UK learner drivers can book their practical driving test, as soon as they have a provisional licence and have passed the theory test.
Have your say until 11 May.
