My experience of Vastern Road Roundabout

31 August 201931 August 2019Alice ElliottLeave a Comment on My experience of Vastern Road Roundabout

I have the deep joy of using this  roundabout several times a week, so I was very interested to see the Council remarking the faded lines as a first step in improving the shocking accident figures on the worst blackspot for cyclists in the town. However it simply does nothing for the problem of drivers […]

Chairman’s Letter, June 2019

1 June 20191 June 2019Keith Elliott1 Comment on Chairman’s Letter, June 2019

Dear RCC members As a cycle campaigner I often feel a little isolated. We are a small committee and even though we have lots of members, it is hard to know how much backing we have. I also have a variety of reasons for campaigning for better infrastructure. Cycling numbers in Reading are really low […]

Chairman’s Letter, March 2019

6 March 201928 May 2019Keith Elliott1 Comment on Chairman’s Letter, March 2019

Dear RCC members, You will no doubt know by now that the “Mass Rapid Transit” project proposed by Reading Borough Council has been abandoned, and soon the Council will be consulting on ways to solve some of the congestion and pollution issues facing Reading. If anything was like asking turkeys to vote for Christmas, this […]

A Cycle Forum meeting took place on 31 October with RBC, RCC and other representatives present. A range of issues were tabled: Potholes etc We were informed about the highway maintenance procedures for repairing potholes and other defects.

RBC Autumn Report

31 August 2018Keith ElliottLeave a Comment on RBC Autumn Report

Since the last Campaign News in the summer we are awaiting a Cycle Forum meeting, maybe in September. Unfortunately, there has been little visible action that I can see on any of the planned and hoped for cycling schemes and improvements. This includes the NCN422 route from Calcot to Wokingham Road, town centre signing and […]

RBC Summer Report

1 June 201817 June 2018Alice ElliottLeave a Comment on RBC Summer Report

Since the last Campaign News in the spring there has been a Cycle Forum meeting and a Traffic Management Sub Committee. The Cycle Forum on 27 February was attended by RCC committee members and representatives from other cycling organisations. The RCC did not attend the March TMSC meeting, which had little opportunity for useful intervention. […]

Since the last Campaign News in December and the time of writing (mid February) there have been no meetings to report on or major issues that have cropped up. The Cycle Forum was on 27 February at the Council Offices, and feedback from this will be reported in the next newsletter. We discussed what to […]

Dear RCC members, Right. I am going to start jumping red lights when riding my bike*. I have patiently sat at traffic lights waiting for them to turn green for many years. It wasn’t always so, as a younger man I certainly used to jump them, but not at the moment though. I now enjoy […]

24 August 2017Alice Elliott3 Comments on Chairman’s Letter, September 2017

Dear RCC members, I hate cyclists on the pavement. I hate them on the towpath and I hate them in pedestrianised areas. There. I’ve said it. I don’t hate the people forced to ride their bikes there, I hate the fact that this is where cyclists have to ride for their own safety or comfort. […]

Thames path – the right to cycle

24 August 2017Alice ElliottLeave a Comment on Thames path – the right to cycle

The proposal to make the Thames Path an official cycle track was approved by Reading Council’s Traffic Management Sub-committee in June. Although there were objections, John Lee from RCC spoke in favour and none of the Councillors on the committee opposed the plan, no doubt swayed by the large majority of respondents to the consultation […]
