In mid-May Transport for Bucks started the long expected improvements to the village hall area of Valley Road in an attempt to improve the road drainage. 

The major part of the work carried out so far is the jetting of pipes and culverts. also the clearing of the ditch that runs down to the pumping station. This is all very welcome.

We had thought that additional drains would be installed and indeed at one point traffic lights were set up, but then apart from the delivery of some large pipes, now resting under the birches, little more has happened. However, we understand that a further round of work will start soon…….
