Buckinghamshire is supporting calls to the Government for a fairer slice of funding for roads, following national research that shows London has the money to invest three times the amount compared to counties.  And other major cities aren't far behind.

Work gets under way next week on early preparations to realign Abbey Barn Lane, High Wycombe, and create a new roundabout junction with Kingsmead Road.

Three 'smart' pedestrian crossings will be installed in Oxford Road, Aylesbury, during the next three months. They will replace crossings outside the TA Centre, at Mill Way, and outside Aylesbury College. They will co-ordinate with each other, and with the Fowler Road  junction lights when they are upgraded, and will be integrated into the Aylesbury traffic network to improve traffic flows across the town.

Travelling by bus in High Wycombe is now easier, thanks to Smartzone, a joint ticket arrangement brokered by Buckinghamshire County Council with Arriva and Carousel bus companies, and with finance from Wycombe District Council.

A children’s home in Aylesbury run by Buckinghamshire County Council has received a ‘Good’ rating in a recent Ofsted inspection. 

 Anyone and everyone struggles with parenting from time to time and it can be tough being a kid too! Buckinghamshire's Family Support Service is here to help.

Looking out for neighbours who are elderly or frail is something everyone can do which can make an enormous difference to older people who may live alone, or are vulnerable in the colder winter months.

Buckinghamshire Adult Learning, the main provider of part-time learning courses for adults in the county, has received a rating of ‘Good’ in a recent Ofsted inspection.

Further work to create better traffic flows along London Road, High Wycombe, begins on Monday (13 January) at Hatters Lane roundabout. The following Monday (20 January) improvement work starts at Rayners Avenue junction.
