It was confirmed last month that a "quietway" in Marlow will be introduced for an initial trial duration of six months.

The “quietway” will receive decorative planters at the junction of Wethered Road and Trinity Road.

There will also be bollard posts towards the Dean Street Car Park end of Trinity Road.

These are being placed north of residential and business access to ensure existing vehicle access is maintained for all residential and business properties along Trinity Road.

Access to the Dean Street car park will be maintained.

The scheme is similar to the Low Traffic Neighbourhoods that are being trialled in other areas of the country.

A "quietway" uses point closures to help create a quieter street for everyone, encouraging cycling and walking.

This is part of a range of Emergency Active Travel (EAT) trial schemes across Buckinghamshire that are being introduced and amended during April.

Buckinghamshire Council is making adjustments to existing schemes and adding new trial schemes in different parts of the county including High Wycombe and Aylesbury.

The EAT schemes form part of a £514,000 investment to encourage residents to make more local journeys on foot and by bike in a bid to improve health and wellbeing with longer-term benefits including reducing congestion and improving air quality.

Ian Thompson, Corporate Director for Planning, Growth and Sustainability said: “We are really pleased to be able to run such a range of Emergency Active Travel Schemes across the county.

“As a council we are committed to exploring options for more sustainable travel. The benefits on both our personal health and our local environment are a win-win for everyone.”

Local residents, schools, taxi firms, waste collection teams, and others were invited to give their feedback on the proposals before a final decision was made on the trial.

With letters distributed initially, residents and businesses can also submit feedback throughout the trial on the council's website.

Councillor Alex Collingwood, ward councillor for Marlow, said: "We have spoken to local groups and organisations and realised there is an appetite for introducing something like this in Marlow.

“This is intended to be a temporary scheme and there is scope for it to be tweaked as we receive feedback.

"We are hopeful that residents and all those who use the area will see the positive benefits and support the trial."
