High Wycombe's new driving test centre will be opening its doors on May 5 - and tests can now be booked.

After months of uncertainty over the future of driving tests in the town, which led to a successful campaign to save the provision, the new relocated centre will open up in Cressex Business Park for testing on May 5.

Tests can now be booked at the new site as of April 30.

The new test centre is at Unit 1, Cliveden Office Village, Lancaster Road, High Wycombe.

In an update from the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA), they said: "We’re contacting all candidates whose test was put on hold when the previous site closed, to offer them a new time and a date at the new site."

It was announced last year that the High Wycombe Driving Test Centre, which was in Wellington Road, was going to be shut down because the DVSA said running it was “not a good use of public money”.

This prompted outrage from local driving instructors, the thousands of young people learning to drive in the town and Wycombe MP Steve Baker, who all said it was vitally important the town had a test centre.

After a huge campaign, press coverage and even a mention in the House of Commons, the DVSA reconsidered their plans to remove a test centre from the town completely, instead asking local instructors to find an alternative cheaper site.

The Save Wycombe Driving Test Centre campaign group did exactly that – finding a smaller and more manageable venue in Cliveden Office Village in Lancaster Road.
