We, the citizens of Reading and West Berkshire petition the council to reinstate the previous school crossing on the A4 Bath Road in Calcot. We believe the new crossing is unsafe and favours the flow of traffic over the safety of our children.

The council is ignoring my emails about these dangerous traffic flow patterns. Post this link on your Facebook feed right now so they cannot keep pretending this is not a major issue for our community. Text three neighbors today to tell them why your kids avoid walking to school.

The pace of this campaign shows the council that our neighborhood refuses to accept an unsafe crossing for our children. Post the petition link on Facebook today and text three friends to keep the pressure on our local representatives.

Too many cars moving way to fast on the A4. Needs to be a proper crossing for the school kids.

traffic is already bad enough without putting kids at risk. the old crossing worked fine, why change it?

RIDICULOUS decision. safety of children should come way before trying to speed up traffic flow. put it back!

I saw someone almost get hit yesterday. Disgraceful planning by the council.
