Scheme 2 - Woodley / Reading Active Travel Route

About this scheme proposal

The council has discovered the potential for more local cycle journeys to be made across Woodley and connecting with Reading Borough, if more safe and direct cycle facilities were available. Through the Active Travel Fund, the council is considering implementing a scheme that will provide dedicated facilities and a safer, low speed route to benefit cyclists and pedestrians.

Therefore, the purpose of this community engagement exercise is to gather your views at an early stage and help shape future investment plans.
