TRANSPORT chiefs will consult the public over potential modifications to the High Wycombe bus lane.
Buckinghamshire County Council’s Cabinet member for Transportation Cllr Peter Hardy confirmed the authority had investigated the A40 scheme and have come up with a number of ideas to change the way it operates.
These ideas will be showcased during a public exhibition in March.
County transport bosses will also speak to Thames Valley Police this week in a bid to agree on the enforcement of the bus lane, which heads westbound from Loudwater into High Wycombe town centre.
It follows an exposé by the Free Press, which revealed just 34 motorists have been ticketed in 12 years for flouting the bus lane regulations.
But the BFP counted 189 motorists blatantly breaking the rules during two one hour periods at the section of the A40 opposite Mr India and Domino’s (see link).
The council said enforcement of the lane was a job for the police but TVP hit back by saying it was the responsibility of all the authorities.
The bus lane debate has split opinion among residents, with some believing the scheme helps to ease congestion while others say it is dangerous.
