Rejected petition Keep High Wycombe Driving test centre open.

Rejected on 22 October 2020

We would like to keep the Driving test centre in High Wycombe. It has been based in High Wycombe for decades. The DVSA are closing it down 12th March 2021
As a result
Lesson prices could potentially increase in High Wycombe due to travelling time & fuel

Closing the test centre is a disaster for learner drivers of High Wycombe. At the moment (unless the DVSA come up with a different plan) candidates will have to travel to Slough, Aylesbury or Uxbridge test centres meaning longer lessons, more travelling time and potentially longer waits as more people will be looking for slots - basically significantly more cost to pupils lesson prices will also have to be increased significantly to cover travel costs

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

This is an operational decision for the DVSA and not the UK Government or Parliament.
