Woodley Town Council would like to make residents aware of a proposal from Wokingham Borough Council to introduce a 20mph speed limit along part of Woodlands Avenue in Woodley.

The proposed change would apply from a point 15 metres west of the junction with Fairwater Drive and extend eastwards for approximately 720 metres. The Borough Council has explained that the intention is to help lower traffic speeds and enhance safety for all road users, particularly as this stretch of road runs through a residential area and forms part of an important active travel route.

Residents are invited to view the full details of the proposal online, or in person at Wokingham Borough Council Offices, Shute End, Wokingham, during office hours.

Comments, whether in support of or objecting to the proposal, can be submitted to the Borough Council either in writing to the Traffic Management Team, Wokingham Borough Council, Shute End, Wokingham, RG40 1BN, or online via its Engage Platform. The deadline for responses is 23:59 on 20th October 2025.

“We know that roads like Woodlands Avenue are used every day by drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians, including families and schoolchildren. We encourage residents to look at the details of this proposal and share their views directly with Wokingham Borough Council. Your feedback is an important part of the consultation process,” said Cllr Bill Soane, Chairman of Planning & Community Committee.
