Motorists angry at the changes to the A329M should keep up the pressure for improvements to the ‘danger’ road.
That’s the view of Reading East MP Rob Wilson, whose constituency backs on to the road.
The MP was asked for his views on the new petition launched today, which aims to get Highways England to revisit the changes to the motorway.
Last week, Mr Wilson revealed that he had been in touch with Highways England, like his Wokingham counterpart John Redwood.
He told The Wokingham Paper: “As you know, I’ve raised the concerns of my constituents with Highways England and think it’s best to await a reply before deciding on any next steps.
“In terms of the petition to Parliament, should this reach 100,000 signatures, it will be considered for debate by the Petitions Committee.
“Until this time, the important thing is to keep up the pressure on Highways England to improve safety for road-users.”

His comments echo that of Mr Redwood, who earlier today said that the petition is a good way for people to express their views on the A329M project.
He told The Wokingham Paper: “I am taking it [the A329M issues] up with Ministers, Highways England and the Borough. An adjournment style debate would not add much to what I am already doing, but it is good to have an expression of opinion from the many who have to use the road.”
