It was noted that the planters moved to MK Council storage during the changes in 1 Bletchley and Fenny Stratford Town Council Queensway in the summer should be removed from the asset register at a later date if it was unlikely they could be re-used due to their condition. FC20/21-203 Grant Application from YMCA Milton Keynes Nia Haines, Fundraising Officer at YMCA, spoke in support of a grant application from Milton Keynes YMCA in the sum of £2,500 as a contribution towards repurposing existing office space in order to provide additional bedrooms for young people. It was unanimously RESOLVED that a grant in the sum of £3,200 which would provide for the complete conversion of one room be awarded. The reason given for awarding this amount was that the project was very important for young people in the community at all times but the work of the YMCA was critical during the current housing and pandemic related crises. FC20/21-204 To review and comment on planning applications submitted to Milton Keynes Council FC20/21-204.i 21/00559/NMA - 86 Queensway Bletchley Milton Keynes MK2 2RU - Non material amendment to planning application 18/00388/FUL Minor amendments to the plans and elevations of Unit A It was RESOLVED that the Town Council would make no comments on the minor amendments.

FC20/21- 21/00677/CONS - SGN Gas Depot Bletchley Road Newton Longville 204.iv Buckinghamshire - Installation of a gas tanker off loading facility for injection of renewable gas into the national gas distribution network (Aylesbury Vale application 20/03539/APP) (Resubmission 20/02839/CONS) Members noted this was a resubmission of a previous application. It was RESOLVED that the Town Council, whilst welcoming the changes to the previous planning application particularly the changes to the flame stack, would re-affirm its relevant comments on the previous application ie i The proposed development would most likely have a negative impact on traffic in the area. The proposed development would result in 20 additional movements in and out of the site (following construction) not counting deliveries or maintenance vehicles. There was no detailed information on 2 Bletchley and Fenny Stratford Town Council whether the vehicles will be able to handle the road junctions in the area (eg Tesco roundabout Buckingham Road, Newton Longville crossroads) and this could result in difficult manoeuvres and additional pollutants from the increased traffic. In 2005 when the Newton Leys outline planning application was decided the traffic for the landfill was taken out of Newton Longville and a new entrance was built in Newton Leys for lorries to access directly off the A4146. This appeared to have been part of an shared intention on the part of the involved LPAs to keep traffic out of Newton Longville which this proposal now contravened. Newton Road through West Bletchley would also be badly affected by the traffic movements. ii There might be unacceptable levels of noise and air pollution from the site. There was the potential of an increasingly unacceptable cumulative effect of traffic noise when taken together with the 24 hour noise already coming from the nearby rail site. iii There would be an adverse impact on residential and other existing amenities. Residents were concerned about the detriment to the visual amenity in the area around the site. In the Design and Access statement the site was described as being in the “countryside” and whilst it was noted that Newton Longville is a rural village what was not noted was that the location of the site is in a residential part of the village which connects with Milton Keynes with no gap between the two settlements. The impact of the site on the Blue Lagoon nature reserve was also not clear (During this item the Clerk experienced connectivity problems and was unable to remain in the meeting. The internet instability continued during the meeting and the Support Services Manager took over the role of Clerk at times when the Clerk herself was not present.) FC20/21-205 Variation of order of business In the absence of the Clerk it was RESOLVED to deal with agenda item 10 next. FC20/21-206 Eaton Leys - Dog bins and Community Centre Following discussion about the future of the Eaton Leys development it was RESOLVED that Bletchley and Fenny Stratford Town Council would i work with the developer to ensure dog bins were provided at Eaton Leys as soon as possible in locations that dog walkers require them (ideally dog bins and emptying to be funded by the developers but to be undertaken by the Town Council so that service is consistent across the parish) and ii express interest in running and owning of the community centre that is to be built at Eaton Leys. FC20/21-207 Changed use of premises at Bletchley Library and location of future Town Council meetings A written report had been circulated before the meeting and its contents had been 3 Bletchley and Fenny Stratford Town Council noted by members. It was RESOLVED that this matter should be dealt with in confidential session because it involved a lease and potential legal action and therefore this item was deferred to the end of the agenda. It was RESOLVED to deal with agenda item 9 next. FC20/21-208 Election of one Town Council representative to sit on the Lakes Estate Renewal Forum Following a vote it was RESOLVED that Cllr Hume be the Town Council’s representative on the Lakes Estate Renewal Forum for the period to the next annual meeting of council. FC20/21-209 Draft specification requirements for new Web site The Support Services Manager introduced a non-technical specification for the Town Council’s new website which indicated the functionality which was wanted. Members had previously been invited to comment on the specification before the meeting. It was noted that swimming and counselling needed to be added to the A-Z of services. It was RESOLVED that this draft specification for the council’s new website be approved and that officers proceed with a procurement process in line with the Town Council’s financial regulations. FC20/21-210 Report from the Gateways Signage Working Group Cllr Stephens introduced a report from the Gateway Signs Working Group and provided detail of the consultation outcome on this project. The Chairman reminded Members of details of the council’s consultation policy. It had already been resolved to introduce four new gateway signs and based on the consultation outcome it was RESOLVED to locate the signs in the positions previously agreed and minuted which were supported in the consultation.

An age-friendly city enables residents to grow older actively within their families, neighbourhoods and civil society, and offers extensive opportunities for the participation of older people in the community. Over the decades, technology has become essential for contemporary and future societies, and even more imperative as the decades move on, given we are nearly in our third decade of the twenty-first century. Yet, technology is not explicitly considered in the 8-domain model by the WHO, which describes an age-friendly city.

  • Members and Parish/Neighbourhood Councils RAIL UPDATE
    ITEM 1 TRANSPORT COMMITTEE NEWS 07 MARCH 2000 This report may be of interest to: All Members and Parish/Neighbourhood Councils RAIL UPDATE Accountable Officer: John Inman Author: Stephen Mortimer 1. Purpose 1.1 To advise the Committee of developments relating to Milton Keynes’ rail services. 2. Summary 2.1 West Coast Main Line Modernisation and Upgrade is now in the active planning stage. It will result in faster and more frequent train services between Milton Keynes Central and London, and between Milton Keynes Central and points north. Bletchley and Wolverton will also have improved services to London. 2.2 Funding for East-West Rail is now being sought from the Shadow Strategic Rail Authority (SSRA) for the western end of the line (Oxford-Bedford). Though the SSRA have permitted a bid only for a 60 m.p.h. single-track railway, excluding the Aylesbury branch and upgrade of the Marston Vale (Bedford-Bletchley) line, other Railtrack investment and possible developer contributions (yet to be investigated) may allow these elements to be included, as well as perhaps a 90 m.p.h. double- track railway. As this part of East-West Rail already exists, no form of planning permission is required; however, Transport and Works Act procedures are to be started to build the missing parts of the eastern end of the line. 2.3 New trains were introduced on the Marston Vale line, Autumn 1999. A study of the passenger accessibility of Marston Vale stations identified various desirable improvements, for which a contribution of £10,000 is required from this Council.

Introduction Purpose of the document This Fact Pack document was initially produced in 2010 to help inform the town/parish council about the characteristics of their parish for the ‘community view’ consultation. This consultation was undertaken early on in the preparation of the Vale of Aylesbury Plan as part of a bottom up approach embracing localism and aiming to get local communities more involved in the planning process. The town/parish council were asked to consult with their community on the following: The level of future housing and/or employment development up to 2031, including specific types of homes, employment and other development The location, sizes and phasing of development The types of infrastructure (social, community, physical) needed to enable development, including where it should be located Any other issues relating to planning and development This Fact Pack document has also been used to support neighbourhood planning by providing evidence for the context of the neighbourhood plan, including information on housing, employment, infrastructure and the environment. This Fact Pack document has also been used to support the Vale of Aylesbury Plan Settlement Hierarchy Assessment.

  • 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.

  • Historic Landscape Charaterisation
    Appendix 6 Analysis – Enclosure Regular Enclosures in Hoggeston parish, Vale of Aylesbury Buckinghamshire Historic Landscape Characterisation Appendix 6 Introduction Enclosed land comprises the most extensive HLC type representing over 72% of the land total. Its main use is for agriculture, a large proportion being for the pasturing of sheep and cattle. The type has a significant impact on aspects of the social and cultural life of the county, where both its form and maintenance are defining characteristics of the aesthetic appeal of the landscape, and is by turn a major influence upon matters such as tourism and planning. Pre 18th Century Enclosure accounts for 32.13% of enclosed land in Buckinghamshire, Parliamentary Enclosure for 28% and Modern Enclosure for 15%. Both the Pre 18th Century (Irregular Enclosure) and Post-Medieval Enclosure types have changed little in the last 150 years, especially when compared with the Modern Enclosure type. Most 20th Century Enclosure is an alteration of a previously enclosed landscape (greatly changed) with just 19% of hectares newly enclosed since the nineteenth century. The HLC mapping (see diagram below) suggests that most of the enclosed landscape has remained largely unchanged for at least 150 years, if not for considerably longer. However, the HLC process did not evaluate the continuing presence of smaller landscape features, such as barns and trees, or the composition of boundary type, boundary size, hedgerows and routeways. Nor did it assess the intrusive features of modern life, such as pylons, new roads, street lighting or other elements leading to the sub-urbanisation of the countryside. These may have a significant impact upon the appearance and condition of the landscape and all play an important part in shaping the landscape visible from the ground.
