Two potential ‘corridors’ for the route of the Expressway are being considered by Highways England. The B1 and B3 routes are indicated in this map – the southern boundary of the B3 corridor runs a few miles north of our village.

Ahead of its 16th September meeting, the PC is very keen to have the views of all our community on these plans, and the leaflet will be accompanied by a short questionnaire which we would ask all residents to complete. This will be a vital step in assisting the PC to develop its public position on the plans under consideration, which can then be communicated to all relevant contacts and organisations.
A digital version of the questionnaire can be viewed at http://www.chearsley.com/OCE/OCEQuestionnaire.png
Alternatively, you can complete the questionnaire online via https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/DXBD52T
All completed questionnaires (excepting those answered online) should be returned to John Howard, Great Barn, School Lane, Chearsley or jnh@dbmc.co.uk before Sept 13th.
Finally, plans are well advanced for a village meeting to brief all residents on the current status of these plans on the evening of Monday 9th September. Confirmation has already been received that Professor David Rogers of the No Expressway Group will present to the meeting and other speakers are being invited to ensure that all sides of the argument are represented together some Q&A from residents.
