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.

This photo shows the notice in Smeaton Close about taking the practical driving test in the nearby Bell Business Park. The upper notice says: Driving Tests Do not park until 5 minutes before your test. The lower notice says: PRIVATE PROPERTY No trespassing No unauthorised parking Unfortunately, the lower notice doesn't give any indication as to which property it refers although it might refer to the buildings of the Bell Business Park to the right of the photo.

Located at Unit 12 in Smeaton Close HP19 8UR, this bus depot has about 55 vehicles running on routes to and from Aylesbury. This photo shows the entrance to this depot with a 5mph notice to all drivers and the wording "Beware of reversing vehicles" below it. The building behind the notice is probably where the vehicles are washed before they go into service.

This photo shows the exit to the bus depot at Unit 12 in Smeaton Close. To the left of the photo is the building where the vehicles are probably washed before they go into service, whilst those on the extreme right are the workshops. The notices at the exit refer to "Drivers Wanted. Full training provided" and "No entry for vehicles" with a no-entry symbol above it. Buses and cars can be seen parked in the open area.

Located at Unit 2A Ground Floor at Midshires Business Park HP19 8HL, this theory test centre opened during 2017 replacing the previous test centre at The Gateway in Gateway Road, SP8014 refers. The practical driving test centre is a short distance away at Unit 9, Bell Business Park off Smeaton Close, http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5677476 refers. One now has to pass the theory test before taking the practical driving test.

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).
