A query arose about noxious weed spraying and it was confirmed that the County Council sprayed such weeds twice a year. The notes of the meeting held on 15 June 2017 were agreed as an accurate record and signed by the Chairman. 4 QUESTION TIME A question was submitted from Mr N Morgan, Aston Sandford Parish Council: I reported online on 31/8 that there was a patch of Japanese Knotweed on the verge by the entrance to the village (Ref40046735) and on 1/9 an email was sent to me saying that it had 5 been inspected and there was no problem found – the email is from a no reply address and one is asked to make a new report if there is a further problem. Another person then reported it by phone ref 46046813. On phoning TfB I was then told by Mark that my original report was noted as needing action and that thearea is due to be sprayed. Can the system please be changed so that if one disagrees with the “No fault found” one can reply to the email to save having to go all round the loop again? Response from Mr D Smith, Local Area Technician, Transport for Bucks (TfB): I have checked our system and following site identification of noxious weeds there are two sites in Aston Sandford. 1) Stanbridge Road near bridge 2) Opposite Aston Sandford Village only road. These areas have over the past two years been dealt with by our supply chain partner for spraying. We have, since December 2016, started to keep records and evidence of these treatments. The first recorded spray was 6th December 2016. This year the first treatment was 27 April 2017 and the second treatment 4th July 2017. Supply chain partners now use IPAD for verification and photos. Any new sites which I have been sent an enquiry from a resident of Aston Sandford will be added to list for next year. Next programmed treatment is 2018. Mr P Irwin noted that the outstanding query above would be addressed when the ‘Fix My Street’ facility was added to the BCC website from February 2018. This would facilitate the response to a ‘no fault found’ scenario. Further development would also be a member page for parish councillors to report faults. Mrs A MacPherson queried how cross-border working with other transport authorities worked. This pertained to developments across the border of the county that had a material effect on road traffic within Bucks. Mr C Harriss would ask for comments from District Council Development Control officers about the protocol for notification of developments across county borders. Action Mr C Harriss. Mr J Horn of Dinton Parish Council asked how other parishes had registered their Sentinel devices as a fixed asset and how they had insured it. Ms K Leney confirmed that Cublington Parish Council insured the device for the days that they use it (as they do not own it). Mr S Garwood, Area Manager had been given an action from the Working Group meeting held this week to investigate this and would report back in due course. 5 PETITIONS No petitions were received. 6 TRANSPORT FOR BUCKINGHAMSHIRE UPDATE Mr D Smith, Local Area Technician provided the following information in addition to the report contained in the agenda pack: The report format had changed to make it more personal to each LAF Road improvements close to the Bugle Horn were underway Fort End jubilee bollards and verge markers were being renewed Kingsey signs would be cleaned and vegetation removed in the near future The drainage issue at Long Crendon was being addressed A number of roads had been closed for repair over the summer The jet patcher was currently deployed in the north of the county catching up on a backlog of repairs 6 Gearing up for winter period – salt being delivered to salt bins during October Grass cutting was behind schedule but continuing whilst the weather allowed Mr Smith was thanked for doing a great job at Bishopstone on repair and resurfacing. With regard to the HS2 power line work, the signs were blocking vision and looked awful – it was requested they be made smaller. Mr D Smith would report this to the BCC HS2 group. Action: Mr D Smith There would be an event on 12h October 2017 at Waddesdon Village Hall to inform residents of ground works, Community Environment fund and Business and Local Economy fund in relation to the development of the HS2 rail line. It was reported that one drain on High Street, Haddenham was very deep and could be dangerous following the resurfacing. Mr Smith would inform the capital team. Action: Mr D Smith Mr J Lewis thanked (TfB) for the work completed on white lines and patching at Long Crendon. However, the grass cutting in Chearsley was overdue and residents had received poor responses to queries raised. Mr Smith reported that the crews have been dispatched to the area to cut the grass this week.
