A major Bucks A-road will not be closed over two weekends for HS2 works after the plans were thrown out earlier this week. Buckinghamshire Council refused to give HS2 contractor Align permission for a full closure of the A413 at Little Missenden, from the Keepers Lane junction to just past Pipers Wood Lane between April 16 and 19, and from April 23-26. LOCALS reacted to a mobile home that was seemingly left on the side of the road earlier this week. A caravan left busted and tilted on its side on Latimer Bottom in Little Chalfont prompted different responses from the public, with some saying it is ‘selfish fly-tipping’ and others speculating whether there had been a crash.

An inquest jury concluded that he died through misadventure.
Small tree to remember farmer with big personality );

A TREE has been planted in memory of a farmer who died in an accident while working.
Friends and relatives of Oliver Bowden, who ran Mill End Farm, near Hambleden, planted the Lebanese cedar sapling at Couchfield Barn, off the footpath on the village outskirts.
The tree, which could eventually grow up to 40m tall, is accompanied by a plaque engraved by memorial masons E T Sheppard, of Henley. It carries the inscription: “Oliver Bowden, much-loved farmer and friend of this valley. 1963-2020.”
Organiser Kate Waddington, a lifelong friend, funded both through an online appeal which also raised about £30,000 for Mr Bowden’s sons George, 13, and Archie, 11, to follow him into the profession.
