The Arguments from Buckinghamshire County Council

According to Bucks CC this is part of improving the route between Milton Keynes and Aylesbury. Stoke Hammond and Soulbury will have a reduction of 75% in traffic.  In Linslade there will only be a reduction of 50% on the Stoke road and 30% on Old Road, and on Leighton Road. There will be no reduction on the Wing Road which is the road that children have to cross to go to school. Buckinghamshire CC have no figures for West Street, or the Hockliffe Roundabout.
