I have the solution to Eden's problems

WE'VE been moaning about the Eden centre in High Wycombe again, I see - mainly about parking costs, lack of disabled parking spaces, traffic problems and lastly the cold wind-blown Eden itself.

I have the solution for all but the cold - we'll have to hope for a warm summer (take note, designer, we're in England not Spain). All the other problems can be solved by one thing - another park & ride.

If this was built along the A40 (for commuters from Beaconsfield, Flackwell Heath, Loudwater, Chalfonts, Uxbridge, Hazlemere, Penn and so on), possibly behind Currys, this would make a considerable difference to the town's traffic.

It would also help the workforce of the shops etc as parking eats away at their wage and it would be cheaper for them, and as I see there are not many buses after the shops close at 8pm.

Give us a park & ride for approximately £1.50 like Oxford and Bath do - they've got less traffic because of theirs.

We already have the bus lane to cope and actually it would be good to see it used more efficiently than now - every 15 minutes hopefully.

When/if the park & ride is built the Eden car park could help our disabled shoppers (as they're right in complaining about paying) they could be given the first floor in the Eden car park for free - the park & ride would allow space for this facility.

Here's a chance to make things better for a lot of people.
