The Relief Road was first proposed in the 1930s. This is how it was envisaged in the 1980s: a roundabout at the end of Station Road, another one where the new road joined Little Horwood Road, and a junction with the A413 at Shipton. Most of the route is now a cycle path. Click on the image for a larger version.
