The coroner's concerns
1. no footpath and inadequate lighting on A329 near Royal Berkshire Hotel
“I am concerned that there is no footpath on the A329 on the side of the road where the Royal Berkshire Hotel is located, meaning that any pedestrians walking into or out of the hotel entrance have to cross the A329 to get from or to a footpath, and that there is no street lighting in the vicinity of the hotel. Street lights end 100 metres west of the hotel entrance. This means that pedestrians entering or leaving the hotel during the hours of darkness have to cross the road in a place where there is no illumination, and so they are Berkshire Coroner's Office Reading Town Hall, Blagrave Street, Reading, RG1 1QH Tel. 01189372300”
