Continued from and hopefully calm speeding traffic. The resident's own barriers were still there as Wendover News went to press.

The new unnamed link road runs from a new junction off the Wendover Bypass roundabout to Nash Lee Lane. This is necessary because the stretch of Nash Lee Road that it used to join is now blocked off while the HS2 cutting is constructed. A section of Nash Lee Road itself has been temporarily replaced by a new road section that curves to the south for a few hundred yards from the same roundabout before re-joining the original road close to the former Nash Lee Lane junction.

The new link road narrows and bends before it ends abruptly at a new T-junction onto the original Nash Lee Lane (Google Maps: https://bit.ly/3q0bedP). Originally there was no Stop or Give Way signage or reflective strips to warn of the junction at this point and the vehicles ran straight on and into the gardens opposite.

Both crashes were captured on a CCTV security camera. Mike Comlay says they occurred at about 03:45 on 8 June and 03:35 on 24 June.

Fortunately nobody was hurt, but according to Bucks Free Press (https://bit.ly/3XXJq6p) the driver of the first car was arrested on suspicion of drink-driving, driving without insurance, and taking a vehicle without consent, before being bailed.

The John Colet School

We are looking for several new members of staff to join our friendly John Colet School team.

Further temporary diversion roads are being built, closer to the centre of Wendover, to allow construction of the green tunnel. Although the green tunnel will allow the roads to be reinstated at a later date, they will be in place while the tunnel is constructed, using 'cut and cover' techniques.
