Scheme 3 - Wokingham Town Centre / A329 London Road

About this scheme proposal

Wokingham Borough Council has delivered cycling infrastructure in recent years along the A329 corridor, based on the potential to develop this route as an important active travel connection serving many key destinations. This investment also supports the continued development of the National Cycle Network Route 422.

There is currently a lack of dedicated infrastructure for cyclists on the section between Rances Lane and Wokingham Town Centre.

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. Specifically, this proposal includes:

Improving journey on foot and by pedal cycle to local destinations

These scheme proposals relate to a primary corridor which carries high volumes of traffic to and through central Wokingham. Currently there is a lack of dedicated provision for those who may wish to make journeys on foot or by pedal cycle. This scheme intends to improve access for people wishing to travel this way without restricting access to motor vehicles.

The council believe this scheme can provide a cost-effective solution that supports active travel and provides safe connections to local destinations including St Crispin's School and Westende Junior School, local leisure facilities and to the town centre from the local area.
