1. Appeal for a Safer Crossing; Peppard Road/Buckingham Drive 
Peppard Road/Buckingham Drive is a very busy, fast, road. It has numerous islands along it for pedestrians to cross the road, and allowing them to wait in the middle until the oncoming traffic clears. However, these are not suitable when there are more than one person crossing the road. It makes it more treacherous to cross when children and prams are added to the equation.
As a parent you usually end up standing in the road. There is really only one safe place to cross which is the pelican crossing by the Emmer Green Precinct. Many children have to cross this stretch of road because of where schools are positioned and their catchment areas are. All set out by Reading Borough Council.
New school catchments have been introduced for the 2010 school intake, which could result in more cars using this stretch of road as parents will choose to drive because it is too far for them to walk.
