READING Borough Council is inviting residents to a number of drop-in sessions to share their views on its transport strategy.

The council has set out a draft of its 2040 Transport Strategy proposals, which explain its plans and vision for travel in the borough up to 2040.

As part of the consultation phase of the proposals, five drop-in sessions are being held in Reading where residents can find out more about the plans and share their views.

The sessions will take place at libraries around Reading, with a further session at Reading Town

The proposals would see improvements to bus and rail services as well as development of further walking and cycling facilities, with a view to reducing congestion and improving air quality.

This includes plans to double the number of bus journeys in Reading to 8 million by 2040, and bringing the number of rail journeys up to 20 million.

They also seek to bring the number of people using park and ride services to a million.

The council is encouraging residents to take up more walking and cycling to help improve their own health as well as reducing emissions, which it aims to cut “almost in half” by 2040.

Cllr John Ennis, Lead Councillor for Climate Strategy and Transport, said: “Travel and transport are subjects which affect everyone in Reading and we want to hear comments from as many people as possible about our vision for improving the way we get around the borough in the coming years.

“Our draft Reading Transport Strategy contains some ambitious goals to reduce congestion, increase bus use, improve walking and cycling facilities and tackle poor air quality.

“The drop-in sessions will give residents in all parts of the borough a chance to talk to members of the Council’s transport team, find out more about our transport strategy and to have their say.”

The sessions will take place as follows:

  • Tuesday, November 14: Battle Library, Oxford Road, 1-7pm

  • Wednesday, November 15: Reading Town Hall, Blagrave Street, 1-6pm

  • Thursday, November 16: Caversham Library, Church Street, 1-7pm

  • Tuesday, November 21: Whitley Library, Northumberland Avenue, 1-7pm

  • Thursday, November 23: Palmer Park Library, St Bartholomew’s Road, 1-4pm

Anyone who is unable to attend one of the drop-in sessions can still have their say online via: reading.gov.uk/RTS2040consultation

The deadline for the consultation period is Sunday, December 11.
