West Berkshire Cycle Forum
The Forum met on 16 May 2023.
A new Council was elected at the recent local elections; no Councillor had been selected to be the cycle champion at the time of the meeting. The meeting mainly provided updates to existing projects.
The next West Berkshire Cycle Forum is on Tuesday 12 September 2023. If there are any matters about cycling or active travel in West Berkshire that you would like raised at the meeting, contact Rob Hill via wbc@readingcyclecampaign.org.uk
