More than fifty Regional Advisory Committees are now at work
in various pait's of the country, Mr. Davidge tells in the Regional Planning RePore for South Bucks and Thames- side (from Hon. Sec., Denmark House, Windsor Road, Slough, 10s. 9d.), and it is indeed good news to hear that so much activity is at last being displayed in setting our crowded and threatened districts in order. Mr. Davidge is the well-known town planning expert, whose work in Hertfordshire and elsewhere has already been the subject of extended notice . in these columns. The present survey follows the lines of its predecessors, which is to say that it is admirably planned and illustrated. Some of the country round Slough is as forlorn as any in England, while between Maidenhead and Oxford there is a. zone as beautiful as any part of these islands. There is much to hedone, therefore, in South Buckinghamshire, bOth in improvement and preservation, Mr. Davidge's report should be studied by all concerned with this part of our precious heritage.
