Overview

Transport for Buckinghamshire logo

We are proposing to upgrade the existing uncontrolled crossing point and install a new signalised puffin crossing on Weedon Hill, Hyde Heath outside of Hyde Heath Infant School.

These proposals come after local people have raised concerns that there is a lack of crossing opportunities for school children and other pedestrians along Weedon Hill / Hyde Heath Road.

As part of these works, we will also be revoking the Traffic Regulation Order for the School Keep Clear Markings as they will be replaced with the new crossing markings.

We are also proposing to introduce double yellow lines at the entrance of St Andrew Church to prevent unsafe parking.
