A413 closures for HS2 blocked by Buckinghamshire Council
The authority said there wasn't a good enough plan in place for diverted traffic
Closures of the A413 at Little Missenden for HS2 works have been blocked for now.
Bucks Council say there wasn't a 'comprehensive' plan in place for all the diverted traffic, so they couldn't give permission right now.

The closures were meant to happen on two weekends in April.
A statement said:
"The Council is of the view that insufficient detailed investigation has been undertaken into alternative options to retain traffic movements on the A413, at least in one direction.
"We will continue to work with Align and HS2 Limited on both the mitigation plan, the need for better and more widespread publicity, as well as an alternative option that allows the A413 to continue to be used whilst work is taking place in the area."
This comes just two weeks from the Council managing to save some trees which were due to be taken down as part of construction of the rail line.
Bucks Council have also blocked other permits for work by HS2's contractors.
