Town and Parish Councils in Aylesbury, Chiltern, South Bucks and Wycombe District Council Areas
Town and Parish Councils in Aylesbury, Chiltern, South Bucks and Wycombe District Council areas. Dear Town or Parish Council, Creation of Parish Charter You will no doubt be aware that contrary to published expectations there was no announcement from DCLG about a reorganisation of local government in Buckinghamshire in March. We have now been informed that, in the light of the General Election, the current government will make no decision in relation to the unitary question. There will need to be a formal consideration of the submissions that have been made by the new government. Whilst we are disappointed that this Government has not yet announced support for our proposals, we remain confident that a new Government will recognise the merits of the District Council proposal and create two new unitaries in Buckinghamshire. In the meantime you will be aware that the County Council has launched an online survey for anyone to indicate their views and express support for their preferred unitary option. Obviously we welcome your support in completing the survey in favour of two unitaries and the District proposal but recognise that surveys are not everyone’s cup of tea and it is very much up to you. The link is below if you would like to do so. http://futurebucks.co.uk/yourviews/ In the meantime we are keen to ensure that we do not lose momentum in taking forward some of the ideas in our proposals which we feel do not require a decision from government. In particular we suggested that a Town and Parish Charter would enable us to develop an understanding with parishes about how we want to work together moving forward. -
Iver Motorway Service Area Response, February 2021
President: Rt.Hon. the Lord Randall of Uxbridge Kt.PC. Planning Service Buckinghamshire Council King George V House King George V Road Amersham HP6 5AW February 2021 Dear Sir/Madam Re: Planning application PL/20/4332/0A Motorway Service Area between Junctions 15 and 16 near Iver Heath This application falls within the Colne Valley Regional Park (CVRP) and the Green Belt. Buckinghamshire Council and the former Chiltern and South Bucks Councils have been supporters of the CVRP since its inception. We hope the Council will continue to uphold the six objectives of the CVRP since this application represents the loss of farmland; the loss of 46 Ha of the CVRP and the Green Belt in a sensitive location; harm to recreational rights of way; harm to watercourses which run through the development, and the loss of, and harm to, existing grassland, woodland, hedgerows and their accompanying biodiversity. • This response to the planning application also looks at the case for the Motorway Service Areas affecting the CVRP, including the one in this location • The strategic planning context and the impact on the Green Belt • The extent of the harm arising from the scheme and • The scale of mitigation that should accompany the development if the very special circumstances’ (VSC) were to be accepted by the decision maker (whether the Council or Secretary of State). The case for an MSA in this location This application for a motorway service area is one of three currently being considered by local authorities along the north-western edge of the M25. All the operators state that there is a need for an MSA on this stretch of motorway between the existing Cobham and South Mimms MSAs. -

It is intended to inform the team on how their work was reported and perceived worldwide. It is not exhaustive but still provides much detail to guide future outreach efforts. PRODUCTS 13 NOV 2018 1. Three papers (ESSD-CorinneL, NatureCC-GlenP, ERL-RobJ) 2. Data and ppt 3. GCP carbon budget webpage updates 4. Global Carbon Atlas updates 5. One Infographic 6. One Video (English, Spanish) 7. Two blogs (The Conversation-Pep, CarbonBrief-Glen) 8. Seven press releases (UEA, CICERO, Stanford University, CSIR-South Africa, China-Fundan University, Future Earth, European Climate Foundation) 9. Multiple Twitter and Facebook feeds. 10. Key Messages document (internal) SUMMARY OF COVERAGE AND OUTREACH • Media outlet coverage within the first week after publication (print and online; based on Meltwater searches on “Global Carbon Project”, “Global Carbon Budget”, “Global Carbon Budget 2017” and “2017 Global Carbon Budget” run by European Climate Foundation): Global coverage in 99 countries with a total of 2,792 media items (this count doesn’t include UK media), in 27 different languages. • OECD dominates coverage (particularly USA, UK, France, Germany, Canada, and Australia), but almost equally large coverage in China, India and Brazil (a great leap forward over previous years). South east Asia and Central/South America (except Brazil) some coverage too. Key to this success was working for the first time with the Climate Change Foundation facilitated by Future Earth (Owen, Alistair). -
Inequalities in Britain, Sociology Review, 21, 1, 15-19
Dorling, D. and Thomas, B. (2011) Mapping Inequalities in Britain, Sociology Review, 21, 1, 15-19. Inequalities in Britain Danny Dorling and Bethan Thomas This paper draws on three of the key topics we discuss in our new atlas, Bankrupt Britain: An atlas of social change (Dorling and Thomas 2011). 1. Public sector cuts: local and national implications In June 2010 the Department for Communities and Local Government published what is likely to become one of the most infamous documents of the economic recession, titled Local government contribution to efficiencies in 2010/11 (DCLG 2010). This document set out what many have argued are some of the most unfairly distributed cuts ever to be imposed on local government in England. The poor and the poorest areas of the country appeared to have been targeted to receive the deepest and most sustained cuts. This mirrored the effects of the national budget of that month that was also found, on examination by the Institute for Fiscal Studies (2010), to be highly regressive (taking more from the poor as a proportion of their income than from the rich). It may well not have been a coincidence that almost all of the areas to suffer the greatest service cuts contained a large majority of people who had voted against the two parties that had come to form the new coalition government. Map 1 shows where the main cuts will, from April 2011, hit most, least, and not at all. These are the first relatively modest local government cuts, of 'just' £6 billion. However, not a penny of that £6 billion is to be saved by the citizens of generally well-heeled districts such as Chiltern, South Bucks, most of Devon, Christchurch, most of Dorset, Cheltenham, the Cotswolds, Winchester, Broxbourne, most of Hertfordshire, Tunbridge Wells, Harrogate, most of Oxfordshire (but not Oxford), all of Surrey, the Malvern Hills and another hundred or so generally 'leafy' and mostly 'Tory' or 'Liberal Democrat' areas. -
