Wokingham Borough want to improve road safety across the borough and are asking you to tell us where you think speed limits should be lowered.

In January 2026, WBC adopted a new speed limit policy that sets out a proactive, evidence‑led approach to making our roads safer. WBC now wants this policy to have a real impact by introducing safer speed limits, particularly in places where pedestrians, cyclists and children may be at greater risk.

This programme of change will run over several years. To help shape the first year, WBC are asking you to tell them which roads and areas you think should be prioritised. Town and parish councils are also being asked to identify priorities for their areas.

All suggestions will be assessed against a set of criteria to identify priority locations for this year’s programme. WBC will publish the draft priority list and ask for your views on these in the summer.

Please use the link above to tell them which roads and areas you think they should focus on this year. Please include the type of area, your reasons for suggesting it and your connection to it.

WBC will not be making blanket changes to speed limits, but considering different roads and areas individually on their own merits.

The new climbing frame is in place in the Davis Street play park.

Thank you to the National Lottery and everyone who supported us.

We are delighted to have received National Lottery funding to install new equipment in the Davis Street play park.
Work is expected to commence on Tuesday 13th January and should be completed within two to three days.

Please remind children not to walk, skate or cycle on the village pond, no matter how cold it gets, the ice is not strong enough.

As you may have noticed, most of the lights on our village Christmas tree stopped working earlier this week.
We are very disappointed to discover that the wires had been deliberately cut causing the failure.
If you have any information about this act of vandlism then please contact the Parish Clerk [email protected]
