A neighbour is pushing for safety measures to be introduced at a crash-prone junction where a cyclist was recently hit and remains in a critical condition.
The Shepherds Hill Roundabout connects the A4 London Road with Pitts Lane in Earley and Reading Road in Woodley.
There are approximately 16 homes in Shepherds Hill, a BP Fuel Station, an M&S Food Hall, beauty businesses, a gym, a bakery and The Shepherds House pub in the area.
Alarm has been raised as there have been more than 70 recorded crashes at Shepherds Hill.
Recently, a cyclist was taken to hospital with serious injuries in London Road at around 4.45pm on Saturday, August 29.
A driver of a grey Hyundai i20 allegedly hit the cyclist.
A 24-year-old man from Slough was arrested on suspicion of causing serious injury by careless driving.
Peter Wheat, a neighbour who lives in the area, shared a photo of police investigators at the site of the alleged crash.
Thames Valley Police has made an appeal for witnesses, particularly those with dashcam footage.
Anyone with information can call 101 or make an online report via the Thames Valley Police website, quoting reference number 43250442717.
Mr Wheat is calling for Wokingham Borough Council, the highways authority, to improve road safety at the junction.
He said: “During the time I have lived near Shepherds Hill Roundabout, London Road, on the edge of Woodley, there have been 77 accidents, including seven serious accidents.
“Most recently, there was a serious accident on Saturday [August 30], where a cyclist was hit by a car, and remains in hospital, in a life-threatening condition.
“What is the council doing to improve public road safety at this accident hotspot?”
Photos Mr Wheat has provided show a BMW estate car crashed into the fence of one of the properties at Shepherds Hill with police interviewing a person, and a damaged Hyundai SUV that appears to have hit a lamppost.
He will ask this question at a full meeting of Wokingham Borough Council on Thursday, September 25.
A response is due to be given by councillor Adrian Betteridge (Liberal Democrats, Barkham & Arborfield), the executive member for active travel, transport and highways.
Mr Wheat used data he found on Crashmap.uk in the question.
A plan to demolish two homes at London Road in Shepherds Hill and replace them with a drive-thru Starbucks cafe was rejected by the council and an appeal dismissed by a government planning inspector last December.
However, the inspector identified no harm in respect of highways and parking for the refused drive-thru project.
