Buckinghamshire County Council has made a bid of £2.1 million for road improvements in Aylesbury.
If the bid to the National Productivity Investment Fund is successful, the improvement plan will help to ease traffic on Oxford Road queueing at the Fowler Road junction and the Hen & Chickens roundabout.
Upgrades to walkways and cycleways, an improved college bus stop and installation of synchronised traffic light controls are included in the bid, as well as new pavements by the Ellen Road roundabout and at Fowler Road.
The County Council will add around £500,000 of developer contributions to fully fund the scheme, and expects a response from Whitehall around the time of the Chancellor’s autumn budget.
This round of National Productivity Investment Fund bids aim to help councils relieve congestion, unlock economic potential and enable homes to be built.
Mark Shaw, deputy leader and transport cabinet member, said: “It's important that we continually look for opportunities to bid for government funding to invest in our roads, to help deal with the impact of housing growth.
"This is a great opportunity to make life a little better for our residents.”
