Improvements to Dinton pathways and cycle path

New shared footway and cycleway for access to Dinton Pastures and Woodley Museum of Aviation

As part of its borough-wide sustainable travel campaign ‘My Journey’, Wokingham Borough Council will start work on a new shared footway and cycleway this autumn

The new footway and cycleway will improve links between east Woodley, Dinton Pastures Country Park and Loddon Bridge and provide an alternative route to the busy Bader Way, eventually being extended to provide a direct link for cyclists to Winnersh Triangle business park and railway station.

The scheme will also improve access to Dinton Pastures and Woodley Museum of Aviation with the path being constructed with porous and sustainable materials in keeping with the country park.

Cllr Anthony Pollock, executive member for highways and transport, said, “This new footway and cycleway is a welcome addition to the borough and a step in the right direction in providing residents the tools to reduce their car travel, save money and improve their health.

“By reducing car travel we can also help to reduce congestion on Wokingham Borough roads and improve air quality around the area.  This footway and cycleway is a prime example of the way in which the council is committed to providing its residents with more sustainable travel options.”

‘My Journey’ helps residents travel by modes other than single car use which is done through a range of projects, working closely with community groups, businesses and schools.

The new shared footway and cycleway will be funded by contributions from recent developments in East Woodley and construction is due to start mid-autumn.

Revised timetable for Little Oranges 19a/c bus service

Revised timetable for the Little Oranges 19a/c bus service

The timetable has been amended in response to an issue with the number of passengers wanting to board Reading Buses 19b bus service from Lower Earley area.
To help reduce this problem, Wokingham Borough Council discussed this with Reading Buses and some small amendments in the timetable have been made.
The journey, which previously arrived at the Royal Berkshire Hospital at 0812 will now arrive at 0804 to provide some addition time for students to walk to school. In order to facilitate this amendment in the timetable, some minor timing tweaks have been made to other journeys.
The changes are due to come into effect on after half-term on Monday 29th October.

Wokingham Borough Council review of polling stations

Review of Polling Districts, places and stations

 

Under the provisions of the Representation of the People Act 1983 and The Review of Polling Districts and Polling Places (Parliamentary Elections) Regulations 2006, Wokingham Borough Council is required to undertake a review of polling districts and polling places every five years.  The review began on 1 October and will close on 16 November.

The review is required to consider the designated polling places and the boundaries of the polling districts within each ward.  This review will not be looking to change ward boundaries, as these can only be modified by the Boundary Commission for England.

Further information, including an Interactive Map and online response survey, are available via this link http://www.wokingham.gov.uk/council-and-meetings/elections-and-voting/review-of-polling-districts-and-places-2018/

Please send any comments or feedback via email to electoralservices@wokingham.gov.uk by 16 November.
