What the petition asks
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
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
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
This is an operational decision for the DVSA and not the UK Government or Parliament.
