Cycling & Walking Update – 20 February 2024
Statement from Cllr Jacqueline Hilton
Sunningdale Parish Council (SPC) has agreed a Cycling & Walking Vision, including a network of leisure and active travel routes, in conjunction with Sunninghill & Ascot Parish Council (SAPC).
Throughout this work we have noted the challenges in separating pedestrians and cyclist from vehicles and our priority is improving safety on the existing mixed usage roads. Our aim is to bring the Vision to life by taking a step by step approach.
Firstly, our “Safer Streets” consultation identified the need to reduce speed limits to 20mph on selected roads. This will be the quickest , easiest and most cost effective way of significantly improving safety in Sunningdale. We have engaged RBWM councillors and presented our joint proposal with SAPC to RBWM who are currently reviewing this proposal. We look forward to hearing their response imminently.
At the same time we have pressed ahead with addressing the very poor condition of Bridleway 1 which runs between the A30 and Coworth Park. Work to improve this key route and provide all year round access has been agreed. We await timings from RBWM for the works to start.
In February, SPC agreed to fund the construction of a footpath alongside Whitmore Lane from Dale Lodge Road in the Old Village up to the footpath which gives access into Coworth Park. Residents have raised their concerns about this dangerous, narrow road with no designated footpath which this new path will address. It is an integral part of the network Vision, linking the village with Coworth Park, Windsor Great Park and a key part of one our popular, publicised circular “Parish Walks”.
We will keep residents informed on the timings for the new footpath, the improvements to Bridleway 1 and the response from RBWM to our “Safer Streets 20mph” proposal.
