I shall focus on some of the creativity we have valued in Bucks SACRE this year both from our members and during our visits to schools. In addition, we receive wise counsel from our Education Officer at Bucks CC, Katherine Wells and our RE Adviser Bill Moore. At our meeting in October we learned that Suma Din our Muslim deputy had become a school governor and would no longer fulfil her role with SACRE. However, her legacy to us is her book published by the Institute of Education Press entitled ‘Muslim Mothers and their children’s schooling.’ See SACRED 7, for a review. (For this and all other references to SACRED see the website at the end of this section). In her contribution to SACRED 6 Suma wrote; From the Qur’an, I understand my role as being a ‘steward’ on this earth; one who will take care, take responsibility and hand on a legacy to those who come after them.

A continued increase in the confidence of rural communities to report crime A continued improvement in our response to fraud (including cyber fraud) A discussion was had to show that the above priorities set by the Police and Crime Commissioner is often different to the priorities that the neighbourhood wish to see being addressed. #cleanChesham is taking place this Saturday.

  • Lca 16.5 Ashley Green Settled Plateau
    LCA 16.5 ASHLEY GREEN SETTLED PLATEAU LCA in Context LCA XX LCA 16.5 ASHLEY GREEN SETTLED PLATEAU KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Elevated, undulating plateau, of chalk overlain by clay with flints, which gives rise to loamy/clayey soils with impeded drainage. • Relatively large fields of arable cultivation, interspersed with smaller fields of rough grazing, pasture and paddock on village edges. Defined by hedgerows with trees and occasional fenced or open boundaries. • Small pockets of woodland scattered across the plateau, with a significant area of ancient broadleaved woodland located at Hockeridge Wood in the north and orchards south of Ashley Green. • Villages are spread linearly along roads, often joining one another e.g. Botley and Ley Hill and Lye Green and Orchard Leigh. A mix of modern and historically vernacular buildings. • Leyhill Common is a distinctive area of neutral grassland amongst broadleaved, mixed and yew woodland crossed by straight rural roads. It has been a golf course since 1900. • Extended fields with extensive boundary loss and 20th century enclosure dominate the area. Pre 18th century enclosures occur in proximity to settlements. • A medieval barn and moated site at Grove Farm and Whelpley Hill camp, a prehistoric or medieval fortification are scheduled monuments. Other archaeological features relate to the clay and flint geology e.g. Medieval pottery and Neolithic flints. • Local footpaths occur frequently, crossing farmland and woodland and linking villages. • The A416 and B405 cut through the landscape, and form the structure of linear settlements. • Views often across fields to a wooded or open skyline, with some to Chesham and the adjacent ridge and valley landscape.
