Oxford Road Junction of Fowler Road
Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8377821.
This was Oxford Road yesterday morning, due to having one exit/entrance in to Fowler Road our residents struggle to get out of this junction.
I have applied for a yellow box junction at this exit, that have been told it would be 18 months for approval. This might not help with the traffic as this was down to the traffic lights at HS2 between Coldharbour Roundabout and the Bugle Horn.
This is a major concern for our residents as if there was a major accident at this junction my residents on my ward would have no exit and would be forced to miss work due to this.
Can I requesting an emergency plan for Hartwell, 8th Avenue, Oxford House Flats and Prebendal Farm. Also request an updated traffic management plan for the event of a accident at this junction and please send it to Please send it to my Town Council Email

This has been passed to the Highway Officer to investigate, they will carry out an inspection within the next 10 working days.
All our roads are subject to safety inspections, and this includes identifying any markings that are badly damaged or degraded so we may already be aware of this issue and have raised a job to have them refreshed if this is the case we will update you that it is a duplicate job/enquiry.
If we were not aware of this issue, we will update you on what action will be taken, this may include adding the road markings to a package of works to be carried out at a later date.
Please note, the ambient temperature drops, and the air becomes much more humid during the winter months and materials won’t bond with the surface when it’s wet, defeating the purpose of applying them at all. Adding markings to a wet surface will essentially mean they become diluted. The moisture present on the road and also in the air will affect the finished quality of the markings, impacting their appearance and longevity, for this reason we only refresh road markings during winter months if there is a specific safety issue.
There may also be occasions when the issue reported will not be repaired as it has been classified as a minor defect and does not pose any risk to either the safety or the integrity of the highway, these are called minimum recording levels as specified in our Highways Safety Inspection Policy in these cases no action will be taken.
