Beaconsfield Motorway Service Area to open tomorrow
7:00pm Monday 16th March 2009 in News By Neil Phillips
BEACONSFIELD'S new Motorway Service Area will be unveiled to the public tomorrow morning.
The ‘Extra’ service area has been built on green belt land at Burtley Wood, and will be accessed via the A355, near junction two of the M40.
It will include brands such as MacDonalds, KFC, Starbucks, WH Smith and Accor Hotels, and will also include amusements on-site.
The site is expected to be open for business from 6am in the morning.
Construction of the MSA was given the go-ahead in 2005 by then-Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott.
Residents of Beaconsfield have previously expressed concern over the impact the new service station may have on traffic in and around the area.

To be fair, when employed by a big company, stick it on the card and expenses were paid (great). Now I have to pay (not a chance) - hell would freeze over....

I have stopped at these services a few yimes in my existence , but have vowed never to do so again - unless in desperation. Bloody expensive doesn't even begin to describe the places.

That should be where any NEW FOOTBALL/RUGBY STADIUM should be built, not Wycombe Airpark. That should either stay or as planned developed for housing.
Surely it would have been better to put the service station on some of the empty land at Handy Cross rather than ruining Beaconsfield?

Looks great.
We need many more service areas and resting places on our motorway system.
They make long-distance driving much safer.

Neat trick HW as it doesn't open until tomorrow! Are you time travelling? If so, what are the numbers for Saturday's lottery??

How long before the first body is dumped in the lake?
