Without Shirley’s infectious enthusiasm this project would not have happened. Shirley gave unstintingly of her time and energy to protect the area she loved from HS2, but she also knew the importance of assembling robust evidence, using recognised research methods and arming oneself with the relevant facts and figures to fight a cause. Drive and determination had to matched by the evidence. Shirley wanted a proper baseline study on the value of tourism threatened by HS2. At her specific request we raised the money and commissioned Tourism South East, a specialist tourist organisation with a research arm, to undertake the study. The Chilterns Conservation Board, where Shirley had been a dedicated board member for 10 years, kindly agreed to manage the project. Shirley’s wish was to petition to the Select Committee. Through this report she will.

  • Chiltern Councillor Update Economic Profile of Asheridge Vale & Lowndes Ward
    Chiltern Councillor Update Economic Profile of Asheridge Vale & Lowndes Ward April 2014 Produced by Buckinghamshire Business First’s research department P a g e | 2 1.0 Introduction Asheridge Vale & Lowndes is home to 4,850 people and provides 1,000 jobs in 82 businesses. Of these businesses, 33 (40.2 per cent) are Buckinghamshire Business First members. There were 3,438 employed people aged 16-74 living in Ash ridge Vale & Lowndes ward at the 2011 Census, 256 more than the 3,182 recorded in 2001. Over that period the working age population rose 195 to 2,996 while the total population rose 351 to 4,850. The number of households rose by 207 (12.1 per cent) to 1,919. This is the highest percentage increase out of all wards in Chiltern. Based on the increase in number of households, the ward ranks 16th out of all wards in Buckinghamshire. The largest companies in Asheridge Vale & Lowndes include: Axwell Wireless; Broadway Bowls Club; Chesham Park Community College; Survex Ltd; Draycast Foundries Ltd; Elmtree Country First School; and Martec Europe Ltd. There are 63 Asheridge Vale & Lowndes, representing 2.2 per cent of working age residents, including 30 claimants aged 25-49 and 15 who have been claiming for more than twelve months. Superfast broadband is expected to be available to 98 per cent of premises in the Asheridge Vale & Lowndes ward by March 2016 with commercial providers responsible for the full 98 per cent. The Connected Counties project, run by BBF, will deliver nothing to this particular ward due to the high proportion of fibre availability through commercial providers.

Waterside School was suggested as an alternative station. Individual Request to change polling stations at Newtown School and Brushwood School due to the disruption caused to parents and pupils. Newtown Evangelical Church is suggested as the alternative for Newtown School. Chesham Leisure Centre or Chesham Grammar are suggested as the alternative for Brushwood School.
