What is the council doing with the new bus lane?
The council’s decision to install a new bus lane on London Road has only made the road harder to navigate. The lane has caused a bottleneck at the roundabout, resulting in longer wait times for drivers. Not only that, but it has also hindered emergency vehicles from reaching east Reading. To top it off, the bus lane doesn’t even seem to be in use. What a waste of space!
It’s understandable to feel frustrated with the decisions made by the council, especially when they seem to be causing more problems than they solve. In the case of the new bus lane on London Road, it seems that the initial intention may have been to improve public transportation and reduce congestion, but unfortunately, it appears to have had the opposite effect.
If you are concerned about the current situation, it may be helpful to reach out to your local council representative to voice your concerns and ask for an explanation of their reasoning behind the bus lane. They may be able to provide more information on the decision-making process and any plans to address the issues you have raised.
In the meantime, you could also consider joining forces with other residents who share your frustrations and advocate for changes to be made. Collective action can often have a greater impact when it comes to influencing decision-makers and bringing about meaningful improvements to your community.
