Decision details

a)To consider the feedback which was received at the statutory consultation
b)To authorise the implementation and construction of the puffin crossing scheme (as set out in Appendix C) on the provision that the application to build on common land is approved.

Funding is being provided through the HS2 Road Safety fund to Transport for Buckinghamshire who have contacted the local members to discuss various options and proposals for resolving issues in the local area. Local residents are concerned with lack of crossing opportunities for school children and other pedestrians along Weedon Hill/Hyde Heath Road. Up to 60 school children under the age of seven cross the road each day and there is currently only an uncontrolled crossing in place which is also currently unlit. The road is reported as experiencing an increase in traffic and speeding issues. The Village Society have undertaken significant anti-speed measures in response to several near misses.

Following discussions with key stakeholders it was collectively agreed that the measures listed above would be taken forward.
