High Wycombe, Marlow, and Chalfont St. Giles Restrictions 2026
Overview
Buckinghamshire Highways are proposing to introduce, amend and remove a number of parking restrictions in locations across High Wycombe, Marlow and Chalfont St. Giles.
We would like to hear your views on the proposals.
Background and our aims
High Wycombe
We have two projects in High Wycombe:
- Portland House project
The Portland House project seeks to address long-standing local concerns by undertaking public realm and highway improvements around Portland House, situated between Arnison Avenue and Hillview Road.
The highway improvements will include traffic calming measures and introducing parking restrictions to improve parking turnover and ensure the junctions and its approaches are clear of traffic.
For more information regarding the traffic calming measures, please click on this link: https://yourvoicebucks.citizenspace.com/roads-parking/portland-house/ .
- Junction protection along Hughenden Avenue as well as Hughenden Boulevard
There are four locations across Hughenden Avenue which have requested Double Yellow Lines (No Waiting at Any Time) to be implemented.
In addition, we also amending the existing Traffic Regulation Order at the junction between Hughenden Avenue with Hughenden Boulevard to reflect the change from a single yellow line to double yellow lines.
We are proposing the following restrictions:
| Road Name (And Extents) | Proposal |
