Responsive to Passengers' Needs and Aspirations Questions in This Area Are Focussed on Providing a Railway ALDBURY PARISH COUNCIL Clerk Councillors L. Bancroft Duncan Eggar (chair) 7, Station Road Penny Cobb Long Marston Graham Juniper Herts Rob McCarthy HP23 4QS Victoria MacGregor Bill Page 07590 989202 Michael Pearce [email protected] Lucy Tollinton Aldbury Parish Council Response to The West Midlands Rail Franchise Consultation This response to the West Midlands Rail Franchise Consultation is made by Aldbury Parish Council which includes Tring Station. Tring Station is situated in a semi-rural location approximately 1.7 miles from the centre of Tring, at the northern edge of west Hertfordshire, close to the Buckinghamshire border. It is located within Aldbury Parish which consists of two small communities, Aldbury Village and Tring Station Hamlet, which have a combined population of approximately 1,000. With over 789k passenger entries/exits per year (Office of Rail and Road figures for 2013/14) and 498 car park spaces (figure from London Midland website) the station is a significant entity within the parish. The station is a passenger transport hub for the surrounding areas that lie in both Dacorum Borough, Hertfordshire and Aylesbury Vale District, Buckinghamshire. The excellent service of 3-4 direct London trains per hour makes it the station of choice for both the local area and parts of Aylesbury Vale to the north. We welcome the Consultation document’s stated desire to improve “the whole journey” experience but at Tring Station the situation is deteriorating and expected to do so further with extensive housing developments planned within Dacorum and Aylesbury Vale. The car park is often full by 9am, bus services feeding the station are limited and have recently been reduced, and cycleway/footpaths are limited to the one route from Tring. The Dacorum Core Strategy 2006-2031 indicates that it is planned that Tring should have around 480 new homes and that the surrounding Small Villages will have local affordable housing and other very limited development that will help sustain the villages. The Vale of Aylesbury Local Plan 2013-2033 Issues and Options Consultation Document identifies nine options for providing between 29,300 and 33,300 new homes. Of these, between 4,200 and 5,600 would be in the Southern Vale area that includes Ivinghoe, Pitstone and Aston Clinton. Permission has recently been granted for 213 new homes across 4 sites in Aston Clinton, development of which has already started (Bucks Herald 2 Jan 16). It is also considered likely that up to an extra 2,000 new homes will have to be built in Aylesbury Vale to cater for the unmet housing needs in the Chiltern, Wycombe and South Buckinghamshire District Council areas. There has been extensive new housing development in Pitstone, Buckinghamshire (more than 400 houses over the last 10 years and not yet complete, Pitstone Neighbourhood Plan Submission Version October 2015) within the Tring Station catchment area. This included the provision of a cycleway/footpath (a Section 106 obligation) for part of the route to Tring Station. However this terminates at the edge of Buckinghamshire leaving the section to the station within Hertfordshire without this facility. The residual funding from the house building project is inadequate for this to be completed. As noted above, Tring town does have a cycleway/footpath to the station, although the surface of this is deteriorating with some cyclists now using the main road instead. Aldbury Village, 1 mile from the station along an unlit winding country road, has no provision of a cycleway or roadside footpath. Although there are footpaths crossing the fields, these are unusable by cyclists at any time and by pedestrians at night or in wet/muddy weather. Bus services to the station are limited to one route and while Tring town is reasonably well provided for during morning and evening peak periods, this does not extend to Aldbury Village. The Aylesbury Vale villages are completely without direct bus services to the station. The station’s semi-rural location means there is limited on-road parking. Station users unable to find free spaces in the car park or unwilling to pay the parking fee quickly fill the few suitable on-road spaces and spill over into inappropriate and dangerous locations leading to annoyance, frustration and a certain amount of anger from other road users and Tring Station Hamlet residents. Implementation of additional parking controls within Tring Station Hamlet has eased some of the issues in the main residential area but resulted in a shift of the problems to other uncontrolled sections of nearby roads. These controls have not helped deal with the parking situation at weekends when there are fewer parking restrictions and more on-road parking by those without station car park season tickets. There is increasing involvement of local Police resources in traffic management issues and thefts from cars parked in non-residential locations. Tring Station has a significant number of rail users being dropped off and collected by car. There are 9 car spaces in the station forecourt (of which 2 are disabled spaces, 3 reserved for contractors/staff) and a number of 20 minute spaces located in the car park on the other side of the tracks. This does not stop cars using the forecourt, stopping wherever they can find space in the no-waiting yellow boxed area; however the current franchise holder has put little effort into appropriate signage or enforcement. The situation is further congested by waiting taxis that have no designated area and the bus waiting area located in the centre of the forecourt. This is less of a problem in the mornings when dropping off is a short process but causes serious congestion during the evenings when longer dwell times occur, especially during periods of service delay or disruption. This can lead to the busy class C road (Station Road running through Tring Station Hamlet and providing access to the station) becoming blocked and a number of residents who have access to their properties through the station forecourt being unable to enter or exit. However stricter enforcement within the current layout could have the unfortunate side effect increasing congestion on Station Road. Aldbury Village residents are increasingly using Berkhamsted Station after 9am where more extensive on-road parking and town-centre car parks currently means that the station car park usually has space available. Even this space is diminishing as rail usage increases and is expected to do so further when the current housing developments of over 150 homes within Berkhamsted are complete (Dacorum Core Strategy 2006-2031 indicates 1,180 are planned for Berkhamsted). It is already noticeable that on-road parking is occurring at increasingly greater distances from Berkhamsted Station. One element of a solution is to extend the existing Tring Station parking. This faces a number of challenges including the fact that the station lies within the Chiltern Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and is clearly visible from a number of the surrounding hills. The council is keen that any extension of the parking or developments of other station buildings or facilities are undertaken in a sensitive and sympathetic manner to both the AONB and the local environment. There is an opportunity to alleviate some of the pressure on Tring Station by improving the frequency of services from Cheddington Station making it a more attractive option for rail users from Aylesbury Vale. Cheddington Station is just over 4 miles, 6 minutes rail travel time, north of Tring Station, but has only 1 or 2 direct trains to London per hour whereas Tring has 3 or 4 direct trains per hour (6 trains in the period 18.00-19.00 coming out of Euston compared to Cheddington’s 3 in the same period). Whereas Tring Station entry/exits increased by 72% in the period 1997/98 to 2013/14, Cheddington Station entry/exits fell by 1% over the same period, handling less than 1/10th of Tring Station’s entry/exits in 2013/14 (Office of Rail and Road figures). With further housing developments proposed for Aylesbury Vale during the next few years, increased rail usage is foreseen putting further pressure on Tring Station and making the development of services from Cheddington an even more attractive option. Aylesbury Vale District Council’s Cabinet Member for Growth Strategy has stated that further growth in the Cheddington area of the Vale will be constrained without the upgrading of Cheddington Station and train services; and AVDC are expected to request this in their response to this consultation (email communication to Councillor Juniper, March 2016). The Parish Council of Ivinghoe, one of the Aylesbury Vale villages situated between Tring and Cheddington stations have also stated they would like to see improved services from Cheddington (email communication to Councillor Eggar January 2016). There is no single solution to the issues facing Tring Station, a range of measures are required and input and support from the West Midlands Franchise rail operator is both sought and welcomed. As a significant number of Tring Station users come from Aylesbury Vale, Buckinghamshire, Aldbury Parish Council are already seeking a cross-county approach from Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire County Councils to improve Tring Station accessibility. An email and supporting briefing document were sent to the leaders of the two councils on 4th January 2016 and copied to a number of other interested parties including the surrounding local parishes. Copies of these documents are attached. The current franchise places heavy emphasis on the West Midlands geographical area and the West Midlands Rail group of 14 councils. Aldbury Parish Council is keen that the new franchise holder should have to commit to the implementation of a formal and ongoing consultation with Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Central Bedfordshire and Milton Keynes Councils with regard to the running and potential franchise separation of the London commuter services on the Tring-Euston line.

  • Dacorum Borough Council
    case study Rocket® Dacorum Borough Council Finding and Capturing the Golden Thread Dacorum is an area of 212 square kilometers situated in West Hertfordshire that includes the towns of Hemel Hempstead, Berkhamsted, Tring, the villages of Bovingdon, Kings Langley, and Markyate, and 12 smaller settlements. 50% of the area is Green Belt and around 18% of the borough’s 60,000 homes are owned by the council. The Council is improving in key priority areas, and the overall rate of improvement is above average compared with other District Councils. Situation The challenge for the borough’s business improvement team was to be able to show the Dacorum community and council members that that their priorities were being met, and to demonstrate to auditors that the organization was managing its business and performance eectively. One of the biggest diculties was to show the linkages between the top-level priorities and the everyday activities of the council. This is commonly alluded to by the Audit Commission as “The Golden Thread.” In order to improve and move to a Portfolio Management approach, where all projects and programs clearly contribute to the Council’s strategic priorities, Dacorum Borough Council had to be able to demonstrate the golden thread process, which included: • setting clear priorities – what we all have to achieve • citizen needs – what our communities need and expect from us • sound nancial control – spending resources wisely and forecasting for the future • improving service delivery – better value for money for citizens • sta engagement and development – ensuring sta have the right skills and opportunities • tracking our progress – celebrating success and reacting quickly where necessary Solution One of the key outcomes to be delivered from this appointment was to improve performance planning and management.

  • Notes and Memoranda on Some Hertfordshire Churches at the Beginning of This Century. Mr
    29 Notes and Memoranda on some Hertfordshire Churches at the beginning of this Century. BY H. R. WILTON HALL. Mr. Cussans twenty years ago wrote:— "At Essendon Place is preserved a large collection of local sketches, the value of which it would be difficult to over estimate. They were made about the year 1797, by a schoolmaster of Tewin, named Pridmore, and are bound in nine thick volumes. The collection consists of coloured views of nearly all the Gentlemen's Seats in the 30 S. ALBAXS AND HEliTs ARCHITECTURAL AXD ARCHvKOLOGlC AL SOCIETY County; all the Churches, and principal monuments within them, together with objects of antiquarian interest, such as old stained glass, windows, rood screens, fonts, etc. One volume is devoted to the Coats of Arms of Hertfordshire families. These volumes bear witness to the fearful destruction of ancient monuments which has taken place during the last eighty years. Modern restorers have as much to answer for as the popularly abused soldiers of Cromwell, destroyers as they were. It seems incredible that scores of Churches in this County, which now possess as much Archaeological interest as the waiting-room of a railway station, should less than a century ago have been rich in brasses, stained glass, and exquisite carvings in wood and stone : yet such is the case."* In the year 1884, Baron Dimsdale allowed the Rev. Dr. Griffith to have copies taken from the collection, relating to his Parish of Sandridge. It was my good fortune to try my hand at making these copies for Dr. Griffith, and I thus had an opportunity of examining this Collection of Views to which Mr.
