Lower Way, Thatcham - footway and cycle improvements

West Berkshire Council is excited to announce a new highway improvement scheme for Lower Way, designed to enhance sustainable travel and support our commitment to tackling the Climate and Ecological Emergency (Priority 3.11 'More opportunities for Active Travel in the district').

Please see the scheme drawing:  Lower Way scheme proposals [5MB] .

The proposal will transform the existing route into a shared cycle and pedestrian facility, allowing both cyclists and walkers to use the space safely and comfortably. This inclusive design encourages active travel, reduces reliance on cars, and promotes healthier lifestyles for residents and visitors alike.

We are looking to have the works completed by Christmas 2025.
 

Public engagement and feedback are very important to us. Please take a look at the Lower Way scheme proposals.
