Reading is a compact town and could be great for cycling. At the moment only 5% of people in Reading cycle for travel 3 or more times per week. Cycling is great for health and cutting pollution. The council is currently consulting on a new Local Transport Plan and has the weak target of increasing cycling to 10% by 2036. Already in the UK many places have over 10% of residents cycling and across Europe Reading is even further behind.
Sign the petition and urge Reading council to boost its ambition for cycling in the town. Raise the targets and provide more facilities for cyclists.
Thanks!
