Petition for a Footpath Along Burghfield Road to Cunning Man
Walking into Burghfield from Reading is quite challenging due to the lack of a footpath along the main road. This gap in infrastructure is concerning, especially on a road with a 40 mph speed limit.
I have started a petition that I plan to present to the council once we gather enough signatures. Please share it with your friends and family!
Here’s the petition text I’ve put together:
“Currently, walking from Reading to Burghfield poses a significant risk due to the absence of a designated footpath for a lengthy portion of the road. This unsafe situation makes it difficult for pedestrians to reach local establishments, like the Cunning Man, and places them in harm’s way. Establishing a footpath is essential not only for safety but also to encourage walking as a sustainable mode of transport, which can help reduce traffic and lower carbon emissions. Additionally, better access to local businesses can stimulate economic growth in Burghfield. This petition urges local authorities to recognize the urgent need for a footpath and to take action to create one. Please sign this petition to enhance pedestrian safety and improve access to local businesses!”
This is a great initiative! Creating a footpath along Burghfield Road would not only enhance pedestrian safety but also encourage more people to walk to local businesses like the Cunning Man. It’s crucial for our community to have safe pathways, especially on roads with a 40 mph speed limit. I appreciate you taking the time to put together this petition, and I’ll be sure to share it with friends and family. Let’s work together to make Burghfield a safer and more accessible place for everyone!
