HS2 Road Safety Fund

Democracy and Local Affairs, Homepage, Transport

I am pleased to announce that following the launch of the first tranche of £1m from our HS2 Road Safety Fund earlier this year, HS2 Limited has now approved our first eight schemes. These are:

 

  • Speed Indicator Devices for Waddesdon, Westcott and Quainton
  • Measures to improve visibility of the junction at School Hill/Perry Hill in Charndon
  • White edging to improve visibility along various sections of the A4010 between Kimble and the Pedestal Roundabout in West Wycombe
  • Measures to improve visibility of the Bradenham Wood Lane junction on the A4010
  • Traffic calming measures on the approaches to the houses either side of the Chiltern Railway bridge just north of West Wycombe, plus improvements to traffic warning signs & visibility of the bridge

A further nine, more complex schemes,  are also currently being considered by Buckinghamshire Council and feasibility work has been agreed to refine scheme details and costs so that we can decide which schemes can be funded from within our tranche 1 budget.

Since the HS2 Road Safety Fund was first announced, many, many schemes have been suggested by communities in Buckinghamshire and our aim is to support as many viable ones as possible within our limited budget.

The second tranche of the HS2 Road Safety Fund will be launched in 2022 and details of this are available on our website.  For more information, please visit:
