South Bucks Parking Review - High Wycombe and Gerrards Cross

Closes 26 Sep 2025

Opened 29 Aug 2025

Overview

Overview

Buckinghamshire Highways is proposing to introduce and amend the existing parking restrictions within the High Wycombe Town Centre Pedestrian Zone to effectively manage the highway network, allow greater flexibility for businesses and traders and whilst maintaining pedestrian safety.

To address this, we are proposing changes to the restricted hours to permit vehicle access to pedestrian zones during specific hours of the day.

We are also seeking your views on introducing new double yellow lines on South Park Drive in Gerrards Cross. Please note that the proposals for High Wycombe are not related to the proposal in Gerrards Cross. These are seperate projects which will have their own decisions.

We would like to hear your thoughts on these proposals.
