The engagement phase has lasted 4 months. 2000 residents have been engaged in Bucks and 600 have completed surveys. (45 of whom were Haddenham residents) Public Health are currently conducting an analysis of responses and will be making recommendations based upon the findings. The analysis is considering: 5 o What the community wants to engage in o Local assets o Discussions with stakeholders o Best Practice o National evidence £3,300 pa will be available for the next 2 years. 3 different options will be presented to the LAF who will decide on the type of activity and in which areas. There will then be an open application for providers of the activities. Decisions need to be made by end of October. Suggestions from LAF Members that this could include children being encouraged to walk to school – this is happening in Oakley. Other Suggestions were tea dances and Jazz exercise. Action Point – decision will be made via email with LAF Members and Sarah Mills will circulate the papers next week. 6 TFB UPDATE Calvin Richardson and Paul Foot from TFB were welcomed to the meeting and update the Committee on the following: The 18 month rolling capital maintenance programme schemes of £25 million are approved. £3 million of the above funding will be committed to patching potholes in Buckinghamshire. This will be put forward to members for consultation. The main tranche of work will be completed in December and then for 8 months after this. Feasibility will be in conjunction with BCC. A more transparent process will be followed in terms of consultation, design then construction. Potholes are up 62% above expectations. Factors in this are a more stringent inspection regime. 660 are reported per week in Aylesbury Vale alone. Regarding use of temporary filling TFB stated they have a statutory duty to complete some category A fills within 24 hours and a high volume to complete. Also added that Bucks CC funding did not allow for all permanent fillings from the start. Members raised the issue that in addition to category 1 and 2 priorities safety features should be considered too, such as bends, hazards to cyclists. Grass cutting is devolved (with the exception of Brill and Oakley) TFB are ahead of schedule and will start tranche 2 of devolution. Winter service planning is underway. Grit bins will go out mid-October and the BOGOF is continuing for salt bags. There will be a full review next year using thermal imaging, historical and weather station data. This will go out for consultation with members. Ran an open day earlier in the year and will run a further open day for winter maintenance in mid-Oct. Members requested greater transparency regarding TFB work programmes stating that the footpath programme on the web was dated 2014. 7 QUESTION TIME/LOCAL PRIORITIES Madeleine Howe introduced the Committee to the Local Priorities. A decision needed to be made by the end of September for the remaining 15/16 budget (inc the TfB spend for 2016/17) The proposals were for: Sheerstock parking restrictions – a spend of £11,200 in 15/16 and £5,200 from 16/17 budget for phase 2. The LAF will commit further funding of £12,000 in 16/17 to enable a wider feasibility study taking more roads into account. 6 Concern was voiced by some members of the committee that 25% of the budget was being committed to an issue which was seen as a national railway problem. The counter argument was that this was unlikely to be resolved without LAF intervention and was affecting residents in Haddenham. A vote was taken (1 vote per parish and District Councillor) Those in favour of the scheme was 7 and those against were 5. Agreed: That LAF provide the full amount of funding for both phases of the parking scheme, which is £11,200 for 15/16 and £17,200 for 16/17. Cuddington Road Speed Limit Assessment – Members debated whether the speed limit should be 40MPH. The cost of an assessment is £450. TFB advised the Committee to commit the full cost of a speed limit change at £7000 just in case the feasibility study says that there can be a reduction. Agreed: LAF to provide the full amount of funding which is £450 in the current financial year and will set aside £7000 from 2016/17 in the event that a speed limit change proves feasible Repair of vehicle activated sign equipment for Dadbrook, Cuddington Parish. The repair of a radar unit would cost £769. Decision: LAF will provide the full amount of funding requested which is £769. The totalled approved funding was £12,419.
