We the undersigned are petitioning Reading and Wokingham Councils asking them to halt plans to build a park-and-ride on the Thamesside and consider other options.

We believe that an almost 400 space, £3 million park-and-ride on Broken Brow, behind the Wokingham Waterside Centre, will blight a wild, green, peaceful area by the Thames. Also, because Reading Council plans to increase the number of car journeys into Reading, this scheme will do nothing to tackle existing congestion and pollution problems in areas such as Cemetery Junction. Finally, we believe it will increase rat running in the Whitegates area to access the park-and-ride.
