Reading Borough Council Planning Process for the proposed area around Reading Station

CADRA had a very productive meeting with Pat Baxter, Head of Transport at Reading Borough Council, and James Freeman, Chief Executive of Reading Transport, on July 19th. Mr. Freeman assured the committee that all the new interchanges will make it easier for residents using buses to cross Reading and access town centre shopping. Pat Baxter demonstrated various models the Borough is using to predict use of the new station concourses by pedestrians and cyclists, and also to ensure that people with disabilities have easy access

Reading’s Transport User Forum has a CADRA representative which allows us to comment and hear other views.
