CAVERSHAM LOCAL GROUP

We are Caversham Living Streets. A group of local people looking at improving walking routes in Caversham.

We are currently engaged in a campaign to have a pedestrian crossing installed at the Last Crumb junction (RG4 8JN - Westfield Rd/ Prospect St/Henley Rd/Peppard Rd). Having established that particularly vulnerable pedestrians use this junction on a daily basis with absolutely no crossing facilities, we felt that action needed to be taken.

ABOUT US

So far we have:

  • Established the junction is used by children from at least seven different schools/nurseries trying to get to and from school.
  • A successful petition underway that clearly demonstrates community support
  • Focussed on raising the profile of the issue, including being featured in multiple local news reports
  • Spoken with That's TV and with BBC Berkshire Radio
  • Met with Matt Rodda MP who supports our cause
  • Met with Cllr Matt Yeo and Cllr Jacopo Lanzoni to discuss the junction
Someone walks across a road crossing in trainers. They are wearing jeans and we can only see them from the knee down. Behind them is an out of focus row of white terrace houses with an orange flare of sun rising up over their rooves.
GET INVOLVED
We are always looking for interested people to join in and get involved. If you would like to find out more and join our campaign please contact us at [email protected]
