  • Waterway Forum Q&A Autumn 2015
    WATERWAY FORUM Q&A AUTUMN 2015 Q1/ What rights do cyclists have when using Canal & River towpaths? Cylists have permissive access to towpaths across the UK. The Canal and River Trust’s towpath code encourages cyclists to observe pedestrian priority, especially in areas where the towpath is not very wide and there is low visibility. We would encourage cyclists to drop their pace in busy areas and ring bells to alert other users. CRT launched a national campaign in October to ‘Share the Space’ to encourage considerate use of the towpath by all users. Events have taken place along the towpath to raise awareness in Berkhamsted and Apsley so far. We are keen to work with cycling and community groups to organise more events across the region Q2/ Why are we having so many instances of very low water levels on the pound where Dunstable District Boat Club is located at Cooks Wharf, Pitstone? The primary problem in this area is gate leakage. There are several substantial leaks on gates between Cooks Wharf and Horton. This situation is further exasperated by the unauthorised water running that seems to be taking place. It is apparent that on occasion individuals are filling pounds with little or no regard for anyone who may be mooring in the pound above. This is not to excuse the gate leakage defects that need to be addressed by Canal & River Trust. A stoppage for this area is planned for 11/01/2016 – 26/02/2016 Q3/ I am concerned about the neglect of the 18 locks between Leighton Buzzard and Cowroast.

    The Vale of Aylesbury Plan Cheddington Fact Pack May 2011 St Giles Church Contents Section Page 1 Introduction page 3 2 Location and Setting page 6 3 Story of Place page 8 4 Fact File page 10 5 Issues Facing the Parish page 38 6 Parish Constraints page 40 7 Annex page 45 Front Cover Photo Source: AVDC, 2010 2 1. Introduction Purpose of the document This Fact Pack document was initially produced in 2010 to help inform the town/parish council about the characteristics of their parish for the ‘community view’ consultation. This consultation was undertaken early on in the preparation of the Vale of Aylesbury Plan as part of a bottom up approach embracing localism and aiming to get local communities more involved in the planning process. The town/parish council were asked to consult with their community on the following: The level of future housing and/or employment development up to 2031, including specific types of homes, employment and other development The location, sizes and phasing of development The types of infrastructure (social, community, physical) needed to enable development, including where it should be located Any other issues relating to planning and development This Fact Pack document has also been used to support neighbourhood planning by providing evidence for the context of the neighbourhood plan, including information on housing, employment, infrastructure and the environment. This Fact Pack document has also been used to support the Vale of Aylesbury Plan Settlement Hierarchy Assessment. This forms part of the evidence that classifies settlements into different categories, where different levels of growth are apportioned to over the next 20 years.

  • Cheddington Parish Council Notes/Pc Update As at 5Th May 2020 Residents Updates
    CHEDDINGTON PARISH COUNCIL NOTES/PC UPDATE AS AT 5TH MAY 2020 RESIDENTS UPDATES • Cheddington Neighbourhood Watch – Volunteering Information During Coronavirus Email received from Gail Steed OBO Chedd-eroo (received 1st May) Update news for the Parish Council is as follows: Chedd-eroo has now been a group for over 6 weeks. They have 98 volunteers from Cheddington and Cooks Wharf and all are giving support in some way, except for 6 who are on standby. They are presently supporting 148 households, 4 doctors’ surgeries & 2 Food Banks. The Food Bank arrangement for Cheddington residents is in its second week and working really well. The Food Banks were very thankful for the donations. Ivinghoe Food Bank have already been receiving calls from Cheddington residents needing help. Therefore, with the volunteers now settled into supporting the elderly and smoothly delivering medication, their focus has moved to young families with no food due to a change in their circumstances during Covid 19. Chedd-eroo has been allowed by Bucks CC to pass the government food parcels that are not wanted to those in need in Cheddington. Another area that Chedderoo has helped with is getting cash out for elderly residents with no way of paying for their shopping. This was done with police approval. Carol Lister and Gail Steed are really pleased with how the Chedderoo volunteers support is making a real difference to many residents and also that they are reducing footfall at doctors’ surgeries. TO RECEIVE ANY UPDATES FROM COUNTY AND DISTRICT COUNCILLORS Nothing to report. CLERK’S REPORT - to note updates to ongoing matters • Home to School Transport (HTST) – Nothing to report.

    Aylesbury Vale District Housing Land Supply Position as at end March 2012 – prepared July 2012 Introduction This document sets out the housing land supply position in Aylesbury Vale District as at 31st March 2012. Lists of sites included in the housing land supply are given in Appendices 1 and 2. Assessment of current housing land supply The current supply of housing land in the District is made up from: Sites with planning permission; Sites that do not yet have planning permission, but that have been approved in principle, subject to the completion of a Section 106 or planning obligation agreement; Sites that are allocated in the Aylesbury Vale District Local Plan but that do not yet have planning permission or approval subject to a Section 106 agreement. All sites for 5 dwellings or more that are included in the supply have been individually assessed as being available, suitable and achievable. Wherever possible we have obtained up- to-date estimates of build rates from housing developers. All sites for under 5 dwellings that have full planning permission have been included in the supply, but the overall total has been subjected to a 10% discount to account for the fact that some sites will not be implemented.

    CHEDDINGTON PARISH PLAN 2003 Cheddington, a pleasant community in which to live and to bring up families. Prepared by Cheddington Parish Council in association with villagers, organisations, clubs and societies. INDEX 2 Background to the Parish Plan and the Countryside Agency’s ‘Vital Villages’ scheme. 3 Consultation with villagers. 2003 Questionnaire 7 Consultation with villagers Open Day – 22 February 2003 8 Comments regarding the School 8 Comments from businesses 9 Consultation with villagers Summary of major points 10 Future plans of organisations, clubs and societies. 13 Outside influences on Cheddington 14 Planning & housing 15 Action Plans 16 Notes and acknowledgments 1 CHEDDINGTON PARISH PLAN Background Parish Plans are part of the ‘Vital Villages’ scheme being run by the Countryside Agency. Vital Villages offers a range of grants and advice to rural communities to help them take action on many issues. This was launched following the Government’s Rural White Paper, Our Countryside, which was published in November 2000. The Countryside Agency would like to help 1,000 communities produce a Parish Plan by 2004. Cheddington Parish Council obtained a grant to assist in the production of this Plan. What is a Parish Plan? It is a document outlining how the community sees itself developing over the next few years. It identifies local problems and opportunities and sets out a view for the future and how it can be achieved. The whole community with its organisations, clubs, and groups should be involved. Although the Cheddington Parish Council is playing a leading role, it is a community effort. We’ve done all this before! Cheddington Action 2000 Village Appraisal was an initiative started in 1996 and completed in 2000.
