Following the Parish Council village hall presentation by the Expressway Action Group on March 18th the Parish Council would like to ensure parishioners are up to date on the latest information.
The official status of this development from Highways England stating that corridor B has been chosen is here:
There are several groups opposing this development in the Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire areas who have detailed information on their websites.
The most recent presentation from the NEG is here
This states that corridor B3 could be the preferred option.
This ‘East of Oakley’ proposal of 82,000 workers would involve building 64,600 houses for a total population of 150,440 people over the next thirty years or so.That is about the same size as Oxford City. The development corridor could run as close as Long Crendon and create greatly increased traffic in the local area. The Parish Council urges parishioners to read the NEG report and express their view to Chearsleypc@chearsley.com or John.Howard@chearsley.com who is leading the village working group.
