Existing surfaced bike routes Sonning Common <> Emmer Green Background A safer cycleway to link Sonning Common and Emmer Green was proposed in 2020. The concept gathered momentum in 2021 with the formation of a volunteer Working Party approved by Sonning Common Parish Council. The Sonning Common Cycleway group is campaigning for a safe, non-athletic bike route between Sonning Common and Emmer Green. This could equally appeal to pedestrians and users of mobility scooters. The B481 Peppard Road is the shortest route but is problematic. Many people; existing cyclists, and potential bike riders young and old, would be uncomfortable on it. Parents may be concerned about their children using it. Some motorists may become frustrated when following the slower, more vulnerable pedaller. Providing alternative infrastructure would benefit all parties. Material below is derived from that publicly accessible on Sonning Common Parish Council website. Cycleway Working Party Background The objectives of the working group are: Benefits of establishing the cycleway will include: Economic benefits to businesses in Emmer Green, Reading, Sonning Common and surrounding villages as a result of more cyclists, walkers and runners choosing to commute and/or exercise on a route currently considered by many to be too dangerous for active travel. Costs and Funding The Route: SURVEY Sonning Common and Emmer Green residents were asked their views on plans for a cycle route between the two communities, to connect with links to Reading and into the Chilterns. |
