The junction of Whitley Wood Lane and Lower Earley way is a well known accident trouble spot.

In July, newly elected councillor for Shinfield North raised the issue at Full Council.

Andrew asked, “Residents in my ward feel unsafe using the junction between the B3270 and Whitley Wood Lane due to the number of accidents and near misses over the last year. What is the council doing to make this junction safer?”

Amazingly he was told the the junction is not in the top 50 of junctions of concern for Wokingham Borough Council!
