Followed by the statutory consultation held between 1 and 22 December 2023.

As part of this process we are required to consult with the emergency services, place notices on-site and in the local paper in accordance with our obligations under Sections 90A to 90F of the Highways Act 1980, The Highways (Traffic Calming) Regulations 1999.

Works will take place between the end of July 2024 and early December 2024, lasting approximately 20 weeks.

Buckinghamshire Highways will engage with residents and stakeholders whose frontage is adjacent to the planned works.

Through the annual budget setting process we will prioritise funding totalling £1.1 million.

This is to be funded from corporately available capital funding (such as capital receipts that we have generated and Council reserves) and is separate from the Opportunity Bucks programme.
