#Reading is also divided in half by the #RiverThames - there are only 3 points to cross it - at #Caversham Bridge, Reading Bridge and just outside in #Sonning - even this afternoon that bridge must have been #flooded , as #Wokingham #Council and #TVP (Thames Valley Police) had closed off the road (adding to the traffic on the remaining two bridge crossings). The Council wants to build a third bridge but surrounding Councils are against it

@nocto Not nearly as far, but a walking and cycling sign at Arborfield Green pointing at Aldershot, 14 miles away - the sign is the sort you get on shared use paths or quiet roads, but this expects people to walk and cycle on a series of busy and hostile A roads without paths. The route to Wokingham is bad but at least it's only 4 miles.

A councillor in #Wokingham: 'learnt about the concept of 15-minute neighbourhoods where residents could walk or cycle within their community to access shops, schools, GP surgeries and the other things they need to live.

Many of the new towns designed and built in the 1950s, and 1960s used that as a blueprint. However, over time, the car became king and walking and cycling became less attractive on roads congested with traffic.'
