Get the traffic out of Wokingham town centre

The Issue

Wokingham is being strangled by traffic. Two main roads (A329 and A321) meet in the centre. But so far the only effort that has been made to relieve this and make the centre an attractive place to meet, walk and shop is to put all the through traffic onto existing small streets and roads (Wellington, Rectory, Langborough, Murdoch...) near the centre. These roads were never built to take through traffic, and the narrow streets in the centre (Peach, Denmark...) are certainly not up to the job. We need a plan to take this traffic out of the centre, give us back our market town, and make living, shopping and socialising here a pleasure again. Less noise, less pollution, less danger, less frustration. We have the power to make the change.
