Make sure our Council honours their promise: Email our local councillor: Write to Marion Clayton, our County Councillor, to let her know you want a safe route installed early, that is promoted to residents and school children. Find out more about the proposed routes below. There will be more cars creating more congestion and more parking problems in Wendover if the proposed cycle route is not installed EARLY, SAFELY and LOUDLY!

Princess Mary's Hospital Site Cycle Route proposals. At the Local Area Forum on 6th November 2008, BCC presented proposals for cycle routes from the PMH site to local schools and Wendover town centre. Five options were detailed: 

• Option 1 - Upgrade existing cycleway.
• Option 2 - On road direct link to Wendover.
• Option 3 - Improve existing link to school via Manor Road. 
• Option 4 -New school link through privately owned field. 
• Option 5- Extension of existing route to Wendover clock tower.

 A period of public consultation followed. The results of this consultation were made available in the form of a Briefing Note at the most recent Local Area Forum on 28th April 2009. Recommendations in this Briefing Note (from John Rippon, Project Manager, BCC to Marion Clayton,) are that options 1,3,4,and 5 should go forward for further consideration. Option 2, the on road direct link to the town centre, was not recommended. The recommendations will be reported to the BCC Cabinet Member for Transportation (Valerie Letheren). Subject to gaining approval, Transport for Buckinghamshire Alliance will be asked to carry out feasibility and preliminary design work. This will take approximately 3 months and details will be available for further comments in August/September. If you would like a copy of the Briefing Note please contact Brian Bostock 01296 624694.

If you are a cyclist, or your children cycle to the Wendover schools, please take a few moments to respond to this consultation: the more cyclists that respond the better the consultation will be.
