  • Summer Moths
    The group of members at Holtspur who had just been clearing scrub, refreshing the information boards, clearing the footpath of obstructions, removing seedling shrubs from the ‘wrong place’ and planted them into the central hedge and the windbreak on Lower Field, clearing dogwood from Triangle Bank, making a small scallop into the top hedge, checking wobbly posts and making repairs to the fencing. Nick Bowles Planting disease resistant elms in the Planting disease resistant elms in Lye Valley, Oxon - in the rain! Bottom Wood, Bucks. Peter Cuss Peter Cuss I will be pleased to see the spring (which seems very slow to arrive this year) for a variety of reasons. One, is to relax after the large number of work parties. I haven’t kept a list of the number of the tasks we attended in previous winters but this year we advertised and we had members working at 46 conservation tasks. As a group of people that love butterflies and moths (and therefore cherish the places in which they live) we can take pride and feel relief, that our expertise has positively influenced the management of those places. Our volunteers have acted to halt, and hopefully reverse, the decline in numbers and their efforts have been magnificent. Our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/Butterflies.Berkshire.Buckinghamshire.Oxfordshire/)bears witness to the large numbers of members involved. Furthermore, I haven’t included events such as Elm tree planting (by small groups of members), the nurturing of seedlings by many members, the preparation of display board information for our reserve and a number of other largely individual acts which took place during the same winter season.

  • Neolithic to Early Bronze Age Buckinghamshire: a Resource Assessment
    Neolithic to Early Bronze Age Buckinghamshire: a resource assessment Inheritance Mobility Although Neolithic populations are thought to have had continued mobility, more and more evidence for Neolithic settlement has come to light. In Buckinghamshire the most important evidence comes from excavations in advance of the construction of Eton Rowing Course (ERC) and the Maidenhead to Windsor and Eton Flood Alleviation Scheme (MWEFAS), mainly in the parish of Dorney in South Bucks on the Thames. The evidence points to intensive use of the area by people in the Early Neolithic but it is not certain that it represents year-round sedentary occupation rather than seasonal re-use (Allen et al 2004). Other evidence does point to continued mobility, such as the artefact scatters at Scotsgrove Mill, Haddenham (Mitchell 2004) and East Street, Chesham (Collard 1990) for example, reflecting visits over a long period of time. Persistent places Mesolithic persistent places continue to have meaning for Early and later Neolithic populations. These persistent places include East Street, Chesham (Collard 1990, 18) and Late Neolithic to Early Bronze Age activity at Chessvale Bowling Club nearby (Halsted 2006, 23-8). Another persistent place seems to have been the lower reaches of the River Colne. Recent excavations at the Sanderson Site, Denham (Halsey 2005) continued the activity from nearby Three Ways Wharf, Uxbridge (Lewis 1991). Other persistent places include the attractive river valley location at Bancroft in Milton Keynes (Williams 1993, 5), and Scotsgrove Mill, Haddenham, where the River Thame meets one of its tributaries (Mitchell 2004, 1). These persistent places may have been the basis of evolving ideas about land tenure.

  • Rights of Way Improvement Plan Review 2008-09 1
    RIGHTS OF WAY IMPROVEMENT PLAN REVIEW 2008-09 1. Background In 2000 the government, through the Countryside and Rights Of Way Act, introduced a new duty for councils to produce and publish, in collaboration with the local community, a ‘Rights of Way Improvement Plan’ (ROWIP). This would be a document in which highway authorities set out their plans for improving the network of public footpaths, bridleways and byways in their area. It would be a statutory requirement and an important part of the process of making the countryside more accessible for everyone. Buckinghamshire’s ROWIP was subject to four district based public consultation exercises in October 2007 and was endorsed in March 2008 at the Policy Advisory Group Meeting and signed off by the Cabinet Member. As part of the development of this plan, a statement of actions and an associated action plan was created, directly related to our statutory duties and priorities derived from the public consultation. These then set out actions that we propose to take to improve access within the County. 2. Summary The Improvement Plan is available for the public to download from the Council’s website. The plan targets eight themes of work in the overall action plan which includes thirteen objectives: • Deliver an accurate and fully up to date Definitive Map and Statement • Provide and protect a well maintained rights of way network. • Publicise public rights of way and access information and the DMS. • Deliver a better integrated and more accessible rights of way network. • Improve the use and enjoyment of the rights of way network.
