  • Appendix 4: Proposed Community Boards Geographies
    Appendix 4: Proposed Community Boards Geographies The purpose of this paper is to set out an overview of the key issues considered in developing a revised map and boundaries of community boards in response to consultation feedback. The detail of the proposed map and boundaries can be seen in the accompanying appendices to the Shadow Executive report – Appendices 5 & 6. This report should be read in conjunction to those reports. Consultation proposal A key part of the formal consultation was seeking views on all options for the number of community boards, from 0 to 19 plus. Prior to the formal consultation engagement workshops took place with town and parish councils in June 2019. A key discussion topic at those meetings was the possible geographies which informed the consultation proposals. A preferred option of 14 community boards was identified as the option for consultation, with other potential options and maps published of 11, 12, 14 and 19 community board areas. The map of 14 community boards was developed with town and parish council boundaries as the basic building block. Appendix 1 sets out the results and feedback from the consultation including the overall number of community boards and their geographies. Proposed Consultation Response As a result of the consultation feedback, it is recommended that 16 rather than 14 community boards are set-up with revised boundaries. The key feedback taken into account in suggesting these revised boundaries are: Taking into account community views from residents, local groups and the respective town and parish councils. Minimising the differences between the boundaries of the Primary Care Networks and the community boards where this makes sense to do so.

It will encourage effective and safe sharing of space by pedestrians, cyclists and vehicles. This is a high priority project, and is dependent on funding from other sources. The full masterplan implementation has been envisaged to be phased over a number of years, and will continue to do so with recent funding allocations by WDC and BCC.

  • On the Trail of Midsomer Murders
    ON THE TRAIL OF MIDSOMER MURDERS Those Midsomer murderers are at it again! Series 12 of ITV’s tongue-in-cheek country classic catches yet more victims napping in sleepy villages where Old English beauty looks too good to be true. Plots may be truly fantastic, but the idyllic settings of Midsomer Mallow or Magna, Wellow or Worthy are delightfully real. The key locations that enthral viewers around the world are hidden away in Buckinghamshire’s rural Vale of Aylesbury and Chiltern Hills, within easy reach of Pinewood Studios where the production team makes its base. In true Midsomer Murders tradition, these seemingly peaceful villages with their hallmark village greens, old-world cottages, cosy pubs and jolly summer fetes conceal more than meets the eye. Our trail visits a selection of them, unmasking such quirky characters as a hedgehog hospital and a duck decoy, England’s oldest free house, the model for Enid Blyton’s Toy Town or the secret resting place of a notorious spy. Keep an eye on those Midsomer Murders to spot further episodes in which these and other Buckinghamshire locations appear! Aylesbury Put a pin in the map at the County Town of Aylesbury, where markets are still held three times a week. Just behind the cobbled market square is the National Trust’s much-haunted King’s Head pub, now also housing the Tourist Information Centre (HP20 2RW) with a second-hand bookshop-cum-coffee shop in the Great Hall. Walk round the corner to the Roald Dahl Gallery, where the giant peach and glass elevator bring out the children in us all.
