Lowndes Path, AYLESBURY, HP19 7GL

In the centre of Fairford Leys. Wikipedia says this "Fairford Leys is designed in the urban village style, with low-rise streets, geared to pedestrians more than cars. The three main developers of the development were bound by a design code to ensure architectural cohesion and this is maintained through covenants on the deeds of each property."

The photo shows the Fairford Leys community centre and bandstand. The centre is an activity centre that is used as a sporting venue that serves the local community and schools (e.g. the government SureStart programme); meeting point for the parish council which doubles as a polling station during local and national elections and the local Women's Institute (WI).

This is Fairford Leys church that was built during the 1990 in response to a request by the Ernest Cook Trust to create a new church in the heart of the Fairford Leys development. This church brings together the Church of England, the Roman Catholic, the United Reformed and the Methodist Churches the first ecumenical church to serve the community.

This is a new road bridge in the Fairford Leys / Coldharbour Farm residential development area, carrying Pine Street over Bear Brook. The brook only flows through one arch, the others serve as flood arches. There are several similar bridges on this development.

An experimental scheme being trialled in Aylesbury during the Covid epidemic restrictions of 2020/21. Medical advice currently is to avoid close contact with others if possible, so the scooters are designed to provide mobility around the area for essential journeys without the risks posed by public transport. So they may well not be here permanently. More on the scheme here https://www.buckinghamshire.gov.uk/news/electric-scooter-schemes-launch-aylesbury-and-high-wycombe-support-covid-restrictions/
