Petition for a Footpath Along Burghfield Road to the Cunning Man
Walking into Burghfield from Reading is currently a challenge due to the lack of a footpath along the main road. This oversight in infrastructure is particularly concerning on a road with a 40 mph speed limit.
To address this issue, I’ve initiated a petition that I plan to submit to the council once we’ve gathered enough signatures. If you agree, please share it with your friends and family!
Here’s the petition text, created with the help of AI:
“Walking along the stretch from Reading to Burghfield poses a significant risk due to the absence of a proper footpath. This gap in pedestrian infrastructure not only makes it difficult for residents to reach local businesses such as the Cunning Man, but it also places pedestrians in harm’s way. Establishing a footpath is crucial for ensuring safety and encouraging sustainable transportation methods like walking, reducing both traffic congestion and carbon emissions. Moreover, improved access to local businesses can drive economic growth in Burghfield. We urge local authorities to recognize the pressing need for a footpath and take action to implement one. Please sign this petition to enhance pedestrian safety and accessibility to our local businesses.”
Thank you for starting this important initiative! I completely agree that the lack of a footpath along Burghfield Road presents a significant safety concern for pedestrians. It’s crucial for our community to have safe access routes, especially for those who want to walk to local businesses like the Cunning Man. Creating a dedicated footpath would not only help protect walkers but also encourage more people to enjoy sustainable transportation. I’ll definitely share this petition with my friends and family to help collect signatures. Let’s work together to make Burghfield a safer place for everyone!
