SLOUGH CYCLEPATHS PROPOSALS
Dear Sir/Madam
Enclosed is the Friends of the Earth updated proposals for a network of cyclepaths in Slough.
The report was compiled by cycling members of the group with comments from S. Bucks CTC (Cycle Touring Club).
In many British and European towns, seperate dedicated cyclepaths are proving a successful contributor to reducing traffic congestion, accidents, pollution, car parking problems noise and destruction of the environment. Slough has similar flat topology to places like Cambridge in England and Munster in Germany which have extensive heavilly used networks of cyclepaths.
In 1993 less than 0.5% of the money spent on transport by Berkshire C.C. is going on the cyclist. We feel this imbalance needs redressing. We suggest next year you spend all of Sloughs road building allocation on cyclepaths and road safety to make up for 60 years of the cyclist being ignored and getting less than 1 % of the budget. If this was done most of the network would be complete in one year and Slough would begin attracting people away from their cars.
A network of cyclepaths was submitted by local CTC members to SloughCouncil in 1986. It was adopted by their Policy and Resources Committee and incorporated into the Local Plan. It has also been in BCCs Transport and Policy Program, however since 1986 just 4% of the network has been funded and built.
Enclosed is an updated network which is generally speaking full of cheap and easy to implement pathways.
We request the council to make all the footpaths mentioned into adopted footpaths if they are not already adopted.
We suggest you take down all the preferred cycle route signposts put up in 1991 as they are ineffective. The ones that direct you immediately on to a proper cyclepath could be retained.
All cyclepath signposts should indicate destination, cyclepath name (if any) and distance.
Reducing the wait times for pedestrians and cyclists to 5 secs at pelican crossings would encourage more people to use them and reduce cycle journey times making cycling more attractive.
Shared cycle/footpaths should have markings at regular intervals on the tarmac or on signs fixed to lamp posts that illustrate a cycle one side and pedestrians the other, like the path in Godolphin playing fields. Also the occasional sign saying cyclists give way to pedestrians and give old people plenty of space.
The 1 to 10 priority figure given is based on whether (10=highest priority):
The path is likely to attract significant numbers of cyclists if built/improved.
It is likely to bring a reduction in road safety accidents on roads nearby.
It is a strategic route eg parallel to an A-road.
It serves an important residential or commercial area.
It links up existing paths and makes them more useful.
It is attractive as a leisure/recreational/nature route.
There are impending developments likely to wipe out the possiblity of a low cost cycle route in the future.
It is safe from a road safety and personal security point of view.
It can be easily and cheaply implemented.

SLOUGH CYCLEPATHS PROPOSALS
Sept 93
1)St Andrews Way, FP no. 6b, over boundary, FP no.62, footbridge over Huntercombe Spur, FP no. 62 past Huntercombe Manor, Huntercombe Lane South.
Leisure route - Abbey an attraction. Existing footpaths needs widening in parts, vegetation needs cutting back, resurfacing and signposting. Priority 7.Cost 5000
2) Abbots Way, FP no. 6b, Huntercombe roundabout.
Existing, needs improved security. Cost 1000. Priority 3.
3) Huntercombe roundabout, FP no. 48, The Close, St Georges Crescent.
Useful shortcut. Needs signposting.
Cost 100. Priority 6
4) Mercian Way near Warner Close,bridleway no. 49 Oldway Lane, over bridge over M4, turn right into FP no.9 alongside M4, over county boundary, FP no. 64 to Lake End Farm, Lake End Rd.
Could be part of a Slough to Maidenhead route. Existing footpath needs upgrading. If M4 widening goes ahead get DoTp to pay for. Would be affected by Flood Relief Scheme. Cost 2000. Priority 5.
5) Oldway Lane bridge over M4, past sludge beds, Thames Water road, Manor Farm, over county boundary, Common Rd Dorney.
Useful at weekends but dangerous weekdays because of Thames Water's lorries going past. Would have to be widened to accomadate cyclists and lorries. Would be affected by Flood Relief Scheme. Cost 30 000. Priority 4
6) Hogfair Lane near Lincoln Hatch Lane, FP past school, Lower Britwell Rd (wide verge and Slip Rd), Long Furlong Drive
FP needs surfacing and better security cutting down hedges to 3 ft, better lighting. Cost 1000. Priority 5
7a) Lynch Hill Lane near Cocksherd Woods, new shared foot/cyclepath along bottom of Lynch Hill Valley Open Space, Long Furlong Drive.
Leisure route. Mudtrack needs surfacing, lighting and signposting. Priority 8. Cost 10 000.
7b) Cross Long Furlong Drive, new shared foot/cyclepath through Fenner Brockway Park, Whittaker Rd.
Leisure route. Mudtrack needs surfacing, lighting and signposting. Adventure playground. Note this grassland contains a few rare wildflowers on the unimproved grass slopes. Any work should be done in conjunction with local wildlife groups. Priority 8. Cost 8000
7c) Cross Whittaker Rd, Littlebrook Av.
Leisure route alongside Haymill Woods nature reserve. Priority 6. Cost 200.
8) Littlebrook Av, FP, Blumfield Crescent, FP no. 51, Haymill Rd.
Existing. Needs signposting, lighting. Cost 200. Priority 6.
9) Littlebrook Av, new connecting FP needed to Haymill Centre, Burnham
Lane.
Priority 4. Cost 200.
9a) Littlebrook Av, new connecting FP to Altwood Close, Burnham
Lane.
Priority 4. Cost 200.
10) Littlebrook Av, FP, across Burnham Lane, Station Rd, station approach, Burnham Station.
Existing FP. The triangular junction here needs improving to make it easier for cars, cyclists and most importantly pedestrians going to Burnham Station to use. Suggest that the southern slip road that connects Burnham
Lane to the station approach rd be blocked off and grassed over. The northern junction of Station Rd and Burnham Lane should be remodelled to give a right angle and islands incorporated to make it easier for pedestrians and cyclists to cross Burnham Lane. Where pavements are missing they should be added eg on the station approach rd, and visibility sight lines improved by cutting back vegetation. This measure would make Burnham Station more pleasant to use. Priority 9. Cycle and pedestrian crossing, road safety improvements and environmental enhancements cost 100 000.
11) Littlebrook Av, FP across southern tip of Haymill Nature Reserve and Thames Water open space, Burnham Lane near petrol garage, or near squash court.
New FP, lighting, signposts. Involves purchase of strip of land from Thames Water. Priority 5. Cost 4000 + land
12) Everitts Corner, Station Rd, Cippenham Recreation Ground, FP no. 2a, Burnham Lane, under railway, Buckingham Av.
Everitts corner needs a lot of improvements to make it easier and safer to cross for cyclists, pedestrians aswell as cars. It could be made more visually attractive and pleasanter to shop at, The car parking should be rationalised in one place and problems of parking on the pavement addressed.
The slip rd on the SE side could be closed off and create a nice paved or grassed area with cycle parking racks. This would enhance the appearance of the area and improve road safety by reducing conflicting vehicle movements. Priority 7. Cost of cycle facilities, road safety and environmental enhancements 200 000.
12a) Buckingham Av, Weston Rd, FP, Greystoke Rd.
The corner of Weston Rd and Buckingham Av is always dangerous because of lorries parking and reversing.
The footpath from Greystoke Rd to Weston Rd is threatened with closure by Slough Estates despite the fact that it is used by many pedestrians and cyclists to get to work every day. It is vital to keep footpaths like this open at all times. Closing off a footpath that gives someone a ten minute short cut to work is more likely to make them use a car rather than them walk around the fence taking 30 mintes. Cost 200. Priority 10.
13) Cippenham Recreation Ground, FP no. 2b Brook Path,<access from Brook Cres>, across Bath Rd.
Existing. Security needs improving replacing fencing, lighting. Needs an island in Bath Rd to make it easier to cross. Priority 7.

Existing, needs surfacing and lighting. SEL and SBC land. Path should be built ahead of any redevelopment. Cost 30 000. Priority 10
33) Kennedy Park Wast ground, shared FP/Cyclpath north side of Northborough Rd until clear of Chatfield Rd junction, new island to cross Northborough Rd, shared FP/Cyclepath south side of Northborough Rd, across mouth of access rd to Kingfisher Court, new pelican to cross Farnham Rd by launderette.
Existing needs marking, signposting, widening in places and small humps placed where car accesses cross the path so that they slow down and are aware of cyclists. Possibly small land purchases near Farnham Rd roundaout to get required width, mouth of acces rd for Kingfisher Court need narrowing to make safe. Cost 35 000. Priority 9.
34) Northborough Rd, FP no. 60a, Faraday Rd, FP no. 60b, Furnival Av.
Existing, needs improved security e.g. replacing closed board fencing with chain link fencing. Cost 500. Priority 4.
36) Farnham Rd near Launderette, shared FP/Cyclepath south side of Cumberland Av, Cinder Track.
Existing needs marking, signposting, widening in places and small humps placed where car accesses cross the path so that they slow down and are aware of cyclists. Cost 5000. Priority 8

FP across rec ground needs surfacing and lighting. Cost 3000. Priority 4.
40) Monksfield Way, FP no. 1, Long Furlongs Drive.
Existing. Needs resurfacing and signposting. Cost 600. Priority 6.
41) Long Furlongs Drive, FP, <access from Cowper Rd>, <should be access from Kennedy Park when landfill is finished>, Northborough Rd.
Existing FP needs signposting, lighting, new surfacing and marking as a joint FP/Cyclepath. Cost 2000. Priority 6
42) Whittaker Rd, Marescroft Rd, FP at back of houses, play area, open space dividing trading estate and houses.
Existing FP needs signposting, lighting, new surfacing. Cost 3500. Priority 6.
43) Open space dividing trading estate and houses, <access from Weston Rd/ Greystoke Rd>, green mound, junction Scafell Rd and Pevensey Rd
New FP using existing mud tracks. New surface, lighting and signposting, some groundwork needed because of slopes. Quite a long distance can be covered without using a road. Cost 25 000. Priority 8
46) Junction Scafell Rd and Pevensey Rd, green mound, new island or traffic lights to cross Fairlie Rd.
New FP using existing mud tracks. New surface, lighting and signposting, some groundwork needed because of slopes. Cost 14 000. Priority 8.

49) FP past sub station, FP over concrete forecourt, Sterling Rd
Existing FP used by workers for 30 years to get to work, closed by SEL without consideration of pedestrians. Should be left open at all times, signposting. Cost 200. Priority 10
49a) Sterling Rd, Edinburgh Av, Liverpool Rd, over railway bridge, Leigh Rd. Cost 0. Priority 4
51) Furnival Av, FP, Greenside
Exisitng FP, being improved. Hedge should be kept trimmed to 3 ft for security. Cost 0. Priority 8
52) Furnival Housing Co-op, Furnival Av, cross Farnham Rd, Essex Av, Cinder Track
Existing. Needs signposting Furnival Co-op end. Slip road and garage entrance make Furnival Av/ Farnham Rd junction extremely dangerous. Slip road could be closed and a large paved area created for the shops to put stalls on. The Furnival Av garage entrance could be closed off. Bollards and the scheme of raised kerbs and grass verges extended from the last house in Furnival Av to the corner of Farnham Rd to reduce the number of pavement crossings and parking on the pavement. Simply walking along the pavement here on a Saturday morning is very hazardous and you are likely to get knocked down. Wait time for pedstrian activated lights should be reduced. Cost 50 000. Priority 7
53) Northborough Rd, FP across Faraday Recreation Ground, Faraday Rd
Existing. Cost 0. Priority 454) Faraday Rd, west side pavement which is heavily used needs widening from Recreation Ground to Furnival Av.
Existing. Cost 6000. Priority 6
55) Wood Lane (Asda), FP alongside M4, <access to Mitchell Cl>, bridge over chalvey ditch, <access to Cooper Way>, <access to Scarborough Way>, Colin Way garages, Burgett Rd, Chalvey Grove.
Exisitng just need signposting. Cost 200. Priority 4
55a) Chalvey Grove, FP no.31, Paxton Av, High St Chalvey, Spackmans Way
Existing, needs signposting. Originally the route would be via footpaths 31 and 63 however the Tuns Lane is too busy to cross in order to use that route. Cost 200. Priority 8
56) FP alongside M4, FP alongside Chalvey ditch, cross Telford Drive, Windsor Meadows streamside FP
Existing. Needs signposting and new island to cross Telford Drive. Cost 5000. Priority 8
58) Stoneymead shops, new cyclepath southside of Cippenham Lane, Tuns Lane roundabout
Could be created using existing footpaths, closing off the sliproad in parts and/or using the grass verge. Cost 15 000. Priority 8
59) Cross Cippenham Lane at lights by Pearl Gardens, northside of Cippenham Lane, FP no.19, Wellcroft Rd, A4 Bath Rd
Existing. Needs signposting. Cost 200. Priority 7.
59a) FP no.19, FP no.20, FP no.56, A4 Bath Rd
Existing. Needs signposting. Cost 200. Priority 7.
60) Northside Cippenham Lane, Cranbourne Close, FP no.56, A4 Bath Rd.
Existing. Needs signposting. Cost 200. Priority 7
61) Cinder Track, Belfast Av, Northampton Av, through bollards, Buckingham Av East, cross Farnham Rd by traffic lights. Existing. Needs signposting. Phasing of traffic lights need changing to allow pedestrians and cyclists to cross this busy junction. During rush hour so many cars jump the red lights that there is no opportunity for pedestrians to cross. Cost 300. Priority 8
62) Edinburgh Av, westside of Farnham Rd shared foot/cyclepath, past Buckingham Av, <access from end of Malton Av>, <access from end of Ajax av>, cross Farnham Rd by pelican, eastside Farnham Rd shared foot/cyclepath, <access from Salt Hill Way>, <access from Salt Hill Drive>, past DSS, A4 Bath Rd northside <access from Windmill Rd>, <access from Hartland Close>, past Salt Hill Park, junction Bath Rd Stoke Poges Lane
The pavement is largely wide enough to accomadate shared use with adequate marking. The area of the slip road between Salt Hill Way and Salt Hill Drive needs remodelling to make safer and accomadate cyclists. At present cyclists riding on this section of the Farnham Rd are squeezed up to the kerbstone if a lorry chooses to overtake a cyclist whilst going past the traffic islands, it could easily be fatal. Cost 10 000. Priority 8.
63) Westside Farnham Rd, car park, Malton Av.
Existing useful shortcut. Cost 0. Priority 4. There is also an unused tunnel under the Farnham Rd here
64) Westside Farnham Rd, through bollards, FP, Ajax Av
Existing needs signposting. Cost 100. Priority 4.
65) Pelican crossing, Westside Farnham Rd, Pitts Rd, cross Bath Rd
Existing. Links two sets of paths. Cost 100. Priority 6
66) Junction A4 Bath Rd and Stoke Poges Lane, northside of A4 Bath Rd shared foot/cyclepath, westside of William St shared foot/cyclepath over railway bridge, Stoke Rd shared foot/cyclepath, Stoke Gardens
Existing pavement is wide enough most parts. Cost . Priority 10.
67) Westside of William St, cross by lights to Brunel Way, new widened shared foot/cylepath northside of Brunel Way, Slough BR Station
Pavement needs widening. Traffic lights need modifying to accomadate cyclists and pedestrians not just cab drivers. Cost 5000. Priority 10
67a) Slough High St, Buckingham Gardens, cross Herschel St by new island, FP between multi-storey and small office block, St Mary's Cemetary, new island to cross Albert St, road by lodge, Upton Park
Wall at end of business units car park and part of cemetary wall wold have to be removed to create this path. Would create pleasant traffic free route in town centre. NB many other towns make their town centre cemetaries more open and like parks eg. Reading, High Wycombe. Vicar Richard Ferguson is in favour of informal cyclepath rhrough cemetary. Cost 10 000. Priority 9
68) Northside of Old High St A4, cross at pelican, through bollards to Burlington Rd, Burlington Av, through grounds of tower blocks, Chalvey Park, new island outside police station to cross Windsor Rd, through gates St Marys Cemetary, Church St, Osbourne St, Hencroft St, FP no.35b, Alpha St South, through bollards, Alpha St North, across St Laurence Way, Merton Rd, FP no.64, new island to cross Yew Tree Rd, through bollards, Upton Rd, FP by Gurney House, Lascelles Playing fields, Lascelles
Rd.
New island outside police station to cross Windsor Rd. The newly built island in Bath Rd near college entrance is far too small to accomadate the volume of pedestrians let alone pedestrians push chairs and cyclists. Pressing the button should activate both halfs of the pelican with a 5 second delay between them as pedestrians do not wish to cross one side of the carriagway and then admire the view from the centre they wish to cross from one side of the A4 to the other. Or suggest replace the split pelican with one that crosses both directions of traffic in one go. New island Windsor rd. New island Yew Tree Rd. Cost 50 000. Priority 9
69) Gurney House, Lascelles Playing fields, new island to cross Upton Court Rd, western entrance to Upton Court Park car park, changing rooms, new path running 30m inside Upton Court Park parallel to Upton Court Rd, eastern exit of park, southside of Upton Court Rd shared foot/cyclcpath, Southside London Rd shared foot/cyclepath, slip rd, new island to cross London Rd, northside of London Rd shared foot/cyclepath, westside of Langley High St shared foot/cyclepath, Ives Rd, Langley Memorial Ground, cross Langley High St at pelican, Langley shops
Leisure route and strategic route paralle to A4. New island to cross Upton Court Rd. New path running 30m inside Upton Court Park parallel to Upton Court Rd. Reduce height of hedge to 3ft to improve openess and security of Upton Court Park. New island to cross London Rd. Cost 90 000. Priority 8
70) Grampian Way, footbridge over junction 5 roundabout.
Existing.Not very secure. Cost 0. Priority 4
71) Farnham Royal Sports Field, Park Road, FP by cricket ground, Church Rd
Existing, needs signposting, surfacing, lighting and security improvements. New island needed to cross Park Rd. Cost 20 000. Priority 5
72) Church Rd, Cinder Track - FP no.24a, cross Cumberland Av, Cinder Track - FP no.24b, cross Essex Av, Cinder Track - FP no.24c, <access from Granville Av>, <access from Hampshire Av>, <access from Gloucester Av>,<access from Warrington Av>, cross Sheffield Rd, Cinder Track - FP no.24d, shared foot/cyclepath across Godolphin Playing Fields, Godolphin Rd, Woodland Av, new path direct across Sikh Temple car park, subway under railway, paths through Salt Hill Park, Bath Rd near Montem Lane
Mostly existing. Tarmac gap needs filling Cumberland Av. Path currently goes around Sikh Temple car park a direct route across it would be more visible and secure (the land for the current path and verge could be swopped for the land for a new path, which would be a net gain for the temple). Where the Cinder Track crosses the end of a road e.g. Hampshire Av, there should be bollards to protect the cyclepath as cars sometimes drive up to the end quite fast and don't look out for cyclists. The school entrance in Gloucester Av could similarly have a road hump before and after the cyclepath to slow vehicles. The pelican lights on Sheffield Rd should have a shorter wait period - people impatient with waiting cross before the lights have changed, putting themselves at risk. The grocery shop owner could be politely asked to reduce the height of the wall he recently built here to give cyclist coming along the cyclepath from Belfast Av clearer sightlines. Cars pulling out from this shop layby can cause it to be a dangerous crossing area - shortening the pelican wait time would improve it. Vegetation along the Cinder track needs to be constantly cut back particularly through Salt Hill Park - suggest the council create a 2m grass verge either side of path in Salt Hill Park there should be regular planned maintainence. Cost 2000. Priority 10
73) Cinder Track FP no.24a, FP no.55, Cornwall Av, Wiltshire Av, Stafford Av, FP no.77 by St Anthonys School, new island to cross Farnham Rd, garage forecourt, Penzance Spur, Bridport Spur, Long Readings Lane
Existing the two footpaths need resufacing and security improvements. Cost 2000. Priority 9
74) Cinder Track FP no.24c, new FP through Godolphin School ground south of schoolbuilding, Granville Playing Fields
Informally used at present. Cost 2000. Priority 6.
74a) Cinder Track FP no.24c, remove fence and and create path through ex-garage forecourt area back of Granville Av alongside proposed Islamic Centre, FP back of Granville Av, Granville Playing Fields, Kirkwall Spur, Lerwick Drive
Existing apart from fence needs to be taken down. Cost 0. Priority 9
74b) Kirkwall Spur, Lerwick Drive, Park School new housing estate, FP, Stoke Poges Lane
Under consideration? Cost 0. Priority 10.
74c) Park School new housing estate, Mildenhall Rd
Under consideration? Cost 0. Priority 10
74d) Kirkwall Spur, new shared foot/cyclepath diagonally southwest across Granville Playing Fields to Waterbeach Rd exit
Existing mudtrack needs surfacing, lighting and signposting. Cost 4000. Priority 9
75) Shared foot/cyclepath across Godolphin Playing Fields, new shared foot/cyclepath to the pond, exit park into Woodland Av, cross Woodland Av near width restrictions, new path taking a straight line through the Sikh Temple car park, under foot tunnel to Salt Hill Park
New shared foot/cyclpath to the pond could go one of three routes: (i) From a point halfway across the Godolphin Rd - Belfast Av cycle/footpath i.e. near the childrens play area, over the existing mud track and join onto the end of the path that goes past the ex-lido the gardens of Baylis house and then over a bridge i.e at the intersection of FP no. 23b. (ii) From a point halfway across the Godolphin Rd - Belfast Av cycle/footpath i.e. near the childrens play area, over the mud track up to the Whitby Road barrier entrance, then a new path to the pond under the newly installed lighting running alongside the stream. (iii) From a point halfway across the Godolphin Rd - Belfast Av cycle/footpath i.e. near the childrens play area, over the mud track to join up to the end point of the tree lined path that runs from the pond midway through the park.
The exit into Woodland Av could be the existing one which need improved sightlines, or better still formalise the gap in the hedge by the width restriction bollards as the traffic travels slower at this point and is easier to see
The new path taking a straight line through the Sikh Temple car park would be much more visible and secure than the existing one that goes round behind a wall. If the land of the existing path and verge were swopped for a straight line path pedestrians and cyclist would get a better path and the Sikh Temple a few more car parking spaces. Cost15 000. Priority 9
75a) Woodland Av, nature trial through open space and along stream at back of Lake Av, possible link to Whitby Rd Trading Estate.
Existing mud track. NB Harris and Panasonic keen to sponsor. Cost 3000. Priority 6
76) Baylis Park, Farm Lane FP no.23b, cross junction Oatlands Drive and Stoke Poges Lane, FP back of houses in Hawthorn Cres
New lighting. Cut down hedge to 3ft to improve security of FP at back of Hawthorn Cres. Cost 4000. Priority 7
76a) FP back of houses in Hawthorn Cres, Cemetary, Crematorium, Stoke Rd. Cyclists to walk. Security of area around SW gate needs improving. Cost 500. Priority 5
76b) FP back of houses in Hawthorn Cres, link via open space to new Lisborough Way estate, Stoke Rd
Cost 3000. Priority 7. Providing cyclists with a safe alternative to Elliman Av would be useful.
76c) Lisborough Way, through bollards, Shackleton Rd, Elliman Av
Existing. Needs signposting. Cost 100. Priority 7.
77) Baylis Park FP from pond to Carmathen Rd entrance, Carmathen Rd, Stoke Poges Lane, cross at pelican crossing, Belgrave Road, Shackleton Rd, through bollards, Queens Rd, Grays Rd, Stoke Gardens, Stoke Rd
Baylis Park FP from pond to Carmathen Rd entrance - security could be improved by moving lido fence back 20m closer to filled in lido and removing some of the hedges so that the footpath is not so closed in by hedges and there is more open space. Shacklton Rd - Queens Rd bollards kerb needs dropping. Signposting to and from Station. Wait time of pelican in Stoke Rd needs reducing to 5 secs. Cost 2000. Priority 10
78) Junction Bath Rd and Montem Lane, FP behind Ice Arena alongside stream through Montem Recreation Ground <access from Seymour Rd via Bridge>, Newberry Way, new island (already budgeted) to cross Church St, shared foot/cyclepath southside of Church St Chalvey, shared foot/cyclepath westside of High St Chalvey, new island to cross High St Chalvey, Spackmans Way, White Hart Lane, Slough - Windsor Cyclepath FP no.32
Bridge to Seymour Rd needs repair. Slope needed to Seymour Rd. Although it sounds elaborate it would be cheap to implement two paths through Montem Recreation Ground. (i) upgrade the mud track by the stream to a gravel path for those that want to enjoy the stream and (ii) use the high level path by the side of the Arena building, short 20m new path, then the SW edge of the car park tarmac repainted as a path. The second is more visible and secure. Also to improve security cut down shrubery along FP alonside stream behind ice arena. Light unlit parts. Dangerous area at present but sensible planning could make it pleasant wildlife area. Cost 12 000. Priority 10
79) White Hart Lane, FP no.32, under M4, Slough-Windsor cyclepath alongside railway, under relief rd, cross borough boundary, FP no.5, under railway<access from Common Lane Eton>, FP no 9 alongside easside of railway, cross Eton Wick Rd, FP no.21 alongside railway,FP no.1 River Thames Towpath, Brocas St Eton
Existing, built by Sustrans. Area near Chalvey tip needs security improvements for visiblity. Cost 1000 Priority 5.
79a) Windsor Rd, Ragstone Rd, allotment road, FP no.33 under railway, White Hart Rd
Possible to use at present when the allotments are open. If the allotments were re-fenced it could be open permanently. Needs signposting. Cost 3000. Priority 5
79b) Slough - Windsor cycleroute, Common Lane, Slough Rd Eton.
Existing. Improved signposting. Cost 100. Priority 4
80) Three Tuns, shared foot/cyclepath southside of Bath Rd, FP no.26, cross Montem Lane, Montem Sports Centre car park, Montem Recreation Ground streamside path.
Mostly existing, needs signposting and marking. The dual carriageway outside ex-Brookside grounds is very narrow and dangerous for cyclists, it would be useful therefore to take them off the road here by providing a cyclepath. Entrance to Montem Sports Centre does not have a pavement both sides. Could do with more cycleracks outside these facilities. Cost 3500. Priority 8.
81) FP no.26, shared foot/cyclepath southside of Bath Rd in front of town hall, across Ledgers Rd.Any 'A' road would be a high priority to have a cyclepath to reduce accidents and provide for heavily used routes. Cost 800. Priority 8
81a) Junction Ledgers Rd and A4 Bath Rd, shared foot/cyclepath southside of Bath Rd, High St.
Very strategic corridor here as there is no railway crossing between the A4 and Chalvey Rd East. Current bridge over Windsor branch line is dark and intimidating and not wide enough. Roof and sides could be removed and a platform wide enough to accomadate cyclists and pedestrians built on the existing support. Wire mesh sides would improve light, visibility and security.
Mouth of old High St (western end) difficult to cross could be narrowed or have a zebra.
The long hammer head road layout outside Lloyds bank was restored to its original pattern when the A4 was widened which was a waste. The long spur serves no purpose the area it should have been landscaped instead. Entrance to bingo hall and Kwik Fit need need bumbs to slow traffic entering and leaving. Cost 90 000 (would have been zero if BCC had done it when they widened A4). Priority 9
82) Three Tuns, shared foot/cyclepath eastside of Tuns Lane, shared foot/cyclepath northside of Church St Chalvey, use island to cross Church St Chalvey opposite hotel, FP that starts in Damson Grove, new FP across Chalvey Recreation Ground, new island to cross High St Chalvey
Mostly existing needs signposting, marking, dropped kerbs to be able to come off Tuns Lane at several points. Cost 18 000. Developer contribution? Priority 9
83) Church St Chalvey, FP no.29, the Green, High St Chalvey.
Existing needs signposting. Cost 100 Priority 4.
84) FP no.27, The Fields - FP no.28, Chalvey Rd East
Existing needs security improvements eg chain link rather than closed board fencing. Cost 3000. Priority 5
84a) King Edward St, FP no27, <access from Arthur Rd>, <access from Henry Rd>, take down fence to get through to Montem Sports Centre car park.
Mostly existing, needs security improvements. Oppurtunity missed when Montem Annex redeveloped for flats to improve and extend this network of footpaths. Cost 5000. Priority 5
85) Junction Albert St and Windsor Rd, through bollards, Upton Park, Herschel Park NW entrance
Existing, needs signposting. Junction is very wide and difficult for cyclists to cross particulary uphill from Chalvey Rd East to Albert St. cost 100. Priority 6
85a) Herschel Park pond, new foot/cyclepath through park extension, new island to cross Datchet Rd
Wildlife/leisure area. Should go ahead regardless of M4 plans. New path bridge over stream/spring and lighting. (25k developers money in kitty). Cost 9000. Priority 9
85b) Datchet Rd, Observer offices forecourt, new foot/cyclepath across Upton Court Farm fields, (cutting across FP no.36), FP no.69 Upton Court Park.
Only a short stretch of path needed here to complete a very long leisure and strategic route from London Rd to Windsor Rd. Possible sponsors Slough Observer. Cost 3000. Priority 9
85d) Herschel Park NE entrance, Upton Park, cross Mere Rd at pelican, cross grass patch, Albert St, Park St, Osborne St.
Existing, needs signposting. Pavement needs building down Upton Park. Developer already commited to do so. Cost 2000. Priority 7.
86) Herschel Park SW entrance, FP section of Vale Grove, Vale Grove, Windsor Rd
Existing needs signposting. Sensitive wildlife. Cost 100. Cyclists to walk. Priority 5
87) Vale Grove, shared foot/cyclepath eastside of Windsor Rd,shared foot/cyclepath eastside of Slough Rd, Willow Brook.Existing, just needs signposting, marking, and dropped kerbs at intervals on the Windsor Rd. Cost 500. Priority 6.
88) Windsor Rd near M4 bridge, FP no.37, The Myrke
Existing, needs surfacing and signposting. Cost 4000. Priority 5.
89) Slough High St, Alpha St South, Albert St, Castle St, shared foot/cyclepath southside of Mere Rd, Datchet Rd, FP no.78, The Myrke, cross the borough boundary, FP no.36, new island to cross Pococks Lane, FP no.36 Eton College grounds, Eton College courtyard, Eton High St
Mostly existing. Pococks Lane very dangerous at present - island would slow traffic. Leisure and strategic route. FP no.78 threatened by M4 widening. FP no.36 threatened by Flood relief scheme. Needs signposting and lighting. Cost 10 000. Priority 9
90) Sussex Place, Lascelles Rd by Slough Grammar School.
Existing Rd, just needs signposting. Cost 100. Priority 4
90a) New foot/cyclepath in Lascelles Park 10m in from hedge parallel to Lascelles Rd, cross at proposed island Upton Court Rd, Upton Court Park
New path. Island already agreed by road safety. Cost 15 000. Priority 8.
90b) Upton Court Rd, FP no.69 through Upton Court Park, bridge over M4, Datchet Rd, new island to cross Datchet Rd, The Myrke.
New island essential to slow traffic in Datchet Rd. Needs signposting to and from Eton. Cost 6000. Priority 8

93b) Ditton Park Rd, Riding Court Rd, footbridge over M4, Majors Farm Rd, junction 5
Existing. Strategic route to avoid A4. Developer contribution (Shirley Lodge) ? Cost 200. Priority 6
94) London Rd, Blandford Rd South, through bollards, Blandford Road North, new traffic lights to cross Langley Rd, Middlegreen Rd, past Halkingcroft Woods, Canal.
New traffic lights to cross Langley Rd which is very dangerous. Signposting. Cost 20 000. Priority 7
95) Kendal Close, FP, northside of canal, Stoke Rd canal basin.
Existing path poor state. Signposting from Kendal Drive. Cost 400. Priority 8
(If the whole of the northside was made accesible then the northside could be used for fisherman and the south side for an obstacle free foot/cyclepath
96) Stoke Rd canal basin, southside towpath, <access from Bower Playing Fields>, <access from Wexham Rd>,<access from ICI>,<access from Uxbridge Rd>, <access from Goodman Park>, cross county boundary, <access from Bloom Park>,<access from Middle Green Rd>, <access from St Marys Rd>, <access from FP no.47a>, <access from Langley business Park>, <access from Langley Park Rd>, <access from Hollow Hill Lane
Existing. Will soon need resurfacing. Other improvements eg widening slightly in parts, lighting, more signposting and route maps, regular cutting back of undergrowth to keep path clear. Cost 20 000. Priority 7.
(If the council ran a Slough to Langley canal bus, it would keep the channel clear of weeds and attract boat users to the Slough arm which is currently under used).
97) Southside towpath, Bower Playing Fields, St Pauls Av, Stoke Rd.
Existing, needs signposting to and from town centre. Cost 200. Priority 5
98) St Pauls Av, shared foot/cyclepath eastside Stoke Rd, William St, Brunel Way.
Section of shared foot/cyclepath from St Pauls Av to Mill St can only be built when the proposed redevelopment of this block goes ahead. Developer contribution ? Cost 5000. Priority 9.
99) Wellington St roundabout subway network, shared foot/cyclepath Wellington St in front of bus station, Brunel Way.
Roundabout quite dangerous particularly coming along A4 past TVU and then getting into lane to go down Windsor Rd. Barriers needed at the bottom of the subway slopes because of blind corners. Clearly marked lanes needed to seperate the cyclists. Some experimentation with markings and restrictions may be needed to minimise conflict with pedestrians. Sponsorship Crownco, Royal Bank of Scotland ? Cost 2000. Priority 10
100) Slough railway station, shared foot/cyclepath eastside Brunel Way, <access to Tesco>, shared foot/cyclepath northside Wellington St, <access from Wellesley Rd>, across end of Wexham Rd, <access from Aldin Av North>, <access from Princes St>, new traffic lights to cross end of Uxbridge Rd, shared foot/cyclepath eastside Uxbridge Rd, <access to canal>, <access from Rochford Gardens>, cross county boudary, <access from Church Lane via footbridge>, George Green Rd.
Crossing the end of Wexham Rd is very dangerous - island should be widened to make it easier.
New surface crossing at Uxbridge Rd to avoid being mugged in subway. Serves Diamond Rd, Rochford Gardens, Upton Lea and Wexham Lea hosing areas. Strategic route to Uxbridge may attract different funding. Cost 60 000. Priority 8
100a) George Green Rd, shared foot/cyclepath eastside Uxbridge Rd, <access to Coronation Av>, <access to Avenue Drive Langley Park>, <access to Beeches Way - funded by countryside commission>, <access to Billet Lane>, then on to Uxbridge.
Strategic route to Uxbridge. Also gives access to Leisure areas eg Langley Park, Black Park.
There is an existing 60's built footpath besides the Uxbridge Rd, but it is so bumpy that cyclists do not use it hence they risk cycling on the road which is dangerous with traffic passing at 60-80mph. Path needs to be dug up and rebuilt. Cost 30 000. Priority 8
102) Newsweek building/opposite Wellesley Rd, shared foot/cyclepath southside of Wellington St, <access to the Observatory>, <access to Royal Mail sorting office >, across Wexham Rd. new surface crossing of Wellington St, Uxbridge Rd.
Pavement has ample width. Postmen would be amongst the cyclists using this path. Surface crossing needed to replace existing Aldin Av subway where several people are attacked each year. A pelican crossing could be built on the existing site, or the Co-op roundabout signals could have pedestrian/cyclist crossing facilities added. This would have the long term effect of making the Diamond Rd area more attractive to live - at the moment it is cut off from the town centre and run-down. Cost 20 000. Priority 9.
102a) Bus garage roundabout, shared foot/cyclepath southside of Wellington St, <access on foot to Queensmere>, new pelican to cross Wellington St, Wellesley Rd,
New pelican to cross Wellington St at Wellesley Rd to replace existing Stratfield Rd subway where several people are attacked each year. If the roundabout is to be signalised, then pedestrian facilities can be built in. Before the Observatory was built cyclists and pedestrians could cut through from Newsweek House to the High St. Now you can only do that in shopping hours on foot (cycles are barred from the Observatory and Queensmere). It would be useful to restore this right of way. Developer contribution? Cost 20 000. Priority 9
103) Shared foot/cyclepath Sussex Place, cross Yew Tree Rd at traffic lights, High St, Windsor Rd
The existing start to the Sussex Place cyclepath is slightly dangerous being on the corner of Lascelles Rd, particularly if you are travelling along the London Rd from Langley. It might be more practical to move it a few yards to the pelican crossing. There should also be a couple more dropped kerbs between here and the co-op roundabout so that the cyclist can easily come off the road when caught up in fast moving traffic. Suggest that the pedestrian and cycle traffic lights at Yew Tree road are linked to operate at the same time. Shorter 5 sec wait time. Cost 1000. Priority 8
103a) Windsor Rd, old High St segregated cyclepath, Burlington Av.
Old High St is wide enough to accomadate a segregated cyclepath. Bollards needed to stop cars parking on path. This route is more visible and secure than going around the back of library. Developer contribution? Sponsor - Royal Bank of Scotland? Cost 10 000. Priority 10
104) Shared foot/cyclepath Sussex Place, Nixey Close, Lascelles Park
Existing needs signposting and lighting. Cost 2000. Priority 5
105) Granville Av, across Stoke Poges Lane, Muddy Lane FP no.58, cross boundary border, past golf course, Stoke Rd.
Needs surfacing, lighting, and undergrowth cleared back without wiping out the wildlife. Cost 10 000. Priority 6.
106) Stoke Rd, FP northern boundary of new Stoke Rd allotments, Wexham Rd by football grounds.
Needs surfacing, improved security, better visiblity. Leisure route. Cost 5000. Priority 5
107) Uxbridge Rd, Dolphin Rd, Hawtery Close, new FP through St Bernards Grounds, Foxhearne, Turner Rd.

112) Alderbury Rd, FP no.37, Langley Rd, FP no.40a - Green Drive, Trelawney Av, FP no. 40b, Reddington Drive, FP no.40c - Green Drive, London Rd.
Existing, needs improved surface in parts. signposting London Rd to Canal and Langley Park.. Cost 2000. Priority 6
113) Junction Wexham Rd and Mirador Cres, FP no.6, the Frithe.
Existing path needs improved lighting and security. Council could ask the places of worship and the Irish Club if they could take down their fences and make the place more open. Cost 2000. Priority 9.
(Whole shopping area at this junction needs improving to make better visually and from a road safety point of view. Slip roads should be replaced with paved areas where shops can display their goods. Parking should be limited to just one area: at present it is all over the shot including on the pavements etc Cost 150 000
114) Station Rd Langley, through the bollards, Meadfield Rd.
Existing. Needs signposting. Cost 100. Priority 7.
115) Sutton Lane, FP no.43, Common Road, Langley High St.
Existing. Needs signposting. Cost 100. Priority 7.
116) Junction 5, London Rd, over borough boundary, A4 Colnbrook By-Pass, Heathrow Airport.
Similar to Uxbridge Rd: existing path by side of road very bumpy - needs digging up and rebuilding, and undergrowth constantly cut back. Strategic route. Sponsors BA ? Cost 30 000. Priority 7
