THE National Grid is funding road safety measures after an employee died while cycling home.

Neil Ashley, 41, was hit by a car just outside the company's offices in Bearwood Road, Sindlesham, on his way home from work in January 2007.

The National Grid is working with Wokingham Borough Council to fund a Vehicle-Activated Sign (VAS) to warn speeders, new road markings, better street lighting, and a new footpath and cycle-path. Work will start shortly.

Alan Smart, energy operations manager at the National Grid, said: "The safety of our employees is extremely important, and this is why we are pleased and keen to work with the council to improve road safety conditions in the Bearwood Road area to ensure our workforce can arrive and leave work in the knowledge they will be safe."
