We did

Following the consultation, we compiled the responses and provided the summary to the Local Councillors (prior to the 2025 Local Elections).

A decision was to amend the following restrictions:

  1. Hazelhurst Drive - the proposed Limited Waiting was changed to: 'Limited Waiting Mon - Sat 8am-10pm 4hrs No Return Within 4hrs'
  2. Waivers Way - the proposed No Waiting restriction was changed to: 'No Waiting Mon - Fri 8am-9.30am and 2.30pm-4pm'

Buckinghamshire Council made a decision to make the Traffic Regulation Order for the proposals, including the amendments listed above. This decision was made in April 2025.

As of 10th October 2025, Buckinghamshire Highways are currently undertaking works to implement these restrictions. From 15th October 2025, the Traffic Regulation Order covering these restrictions will come into effect, replacing the expiring Temporary Traffic Regulation Order.
