The existing structure has already been removed after it was not built as intended.
Thomas Broom, Buckinghamshire Council’s cabinet member for transport, said a review found that the traffic-calming structure on Woodside Road did not meet the council’s required standards.
He said it had therefore been removed and would be replaced as a priority at no additional cost to Buckinghamshire Council taxpayers.
Cllr Broom apologised to residents and road users for any inconvenience caused.
He said: “Following a review of the raised table recently installed on Woodside Road – a raised section of road designed to slow traffic and improve safety – we found that it was not built as intended and does not meet the standards we require.
“We have therefore removed the structure and will install a replacement as a priority. The work to remove and replace it is being carried out at no additional cost to Buckinghamshire Council taxpayers.”
The crossing is part of plans to spend £200,000 of taxpayer-funded cash on new traffic restrictions in the town.
Earlier this year Buckinghamshire council has signed off plans to install a slew of safety improvements along the A4154 Woodside Road and Plantation Road.
Between 2018 and 2022, there were eight recorded collisions along the 1.4km stretch between the Raans Road roundabout and the junction with Sycamore Road.
Under the plans, a raised zebra crossing would be installed near 193 Woodside Road, while the existing crossing outside number 88 would be upgraded to a raised controlled crossing.
At the junction of Plantation Road and Woodside Road, a flat-topped hump with an uncontrolled pedestrian crossing is also proposed.
The scheme also includes changes to parking restrictions, with the removal of certain single and double yellow lines to improve visibility and safety for drivers and pedestrians.
It is expected that the scheme will cost £200,000 from the authorities Capital Network Safety budget, although at the time of sign-off officers have warned the figure may need to be reviewed due to inflation.
The total includes contractor payments, the cost of publishing statutory notices, officer time and overall project delivery.
