Stringfellow, experimental order. During the experiment there has Olney been marked reduction in the local patronage of the Park – especially in the winter weekends when it used to be seen as the only “local” place/park to walk for Olney residents that had made up footpaths for short visits. I would like to see the lay by re-opened in the interests of: · Public Health (encouraging walking) · Safety for lorry drivers by providing a rest area · Removing pressure on parking in the town centre etc. Paulene Jay, I would like to see the lay-by re-opened. I used the Noted. Olney lay-by for short walks with my mother and feeding ducks with my grandchildren. In the time it has been closed I have done neither. Ivor Deering The lay by causes no more danger from a traffic Noted. Piddington, accident point of view than the exit from Emberton Northampton Village/Park. What the closure of the lay-by has ensured is that vehicles have no requirement to begin slowing down until they are over the river until and in Olney; the speed of vehicles is now much greater between Emberton and Olney. The same applies to vehicles leaving Olney; drivers now appreciate that there is nothing going to hold them up and consequently put their foot down immediately. No sooner had the closure had been implemented than the Café in the park closed. The fact that visitors who parked for FREE used the café was obviously lost on the people who were unable to see the “Big Picture”. These people were unaware that there are people such as myself who purchase a pass but still enter the park from the lay-by. As a dog owner, it was simply more sensible to access my dog at this point; most dogs relieve themselves immediately they enter a park or field, and as dog bins were adjacent to this gate it inconvenienced no one; too obvious really!! Following the closure of the lay-by the Park become instantly empty; the difference was astounding, many many people deprived of exercise, enjoyment and social intercourse. Many drivers were able to rest and unwind in this tranquil spot. How many accidents have been caused in other places as a consequence.

    The Evangelical Tradition in Olney in the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries

    The Evangelical Tradition in Olney in the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries Joan McKillop, former Custodian, The Cowper and Newton Museum Nonconformist beginnings East Anglia and the East Midlands took to the Reformation and the new ideas of religion very easily; perhaps their proximity to the printing presses of The Hague and the rest of Northern Europe was a contributing factor. By the beginning of the seventeenth century the Puritan faction was well established in the area. Unease with the established church of Charles I and his Archbishop Laud expressed itself quite early in the king’s reign. In 1635 some Olney families emigrated to New England in search of religious freedom; they left in April on board the Hopewell of London, arriving in Boston in June. From Olney itself went John Cooper, Edmund ffarington, William Parryer and their families and from the neighbouring villages of Lavendon and Sherington, George Griggs and his family and two brothers, Philip Kyrtland aged 21 and Nathaniel Kyrtland 19. The oldest emigrant was 49 and the youngest 18 months. Another early migrant to America was the Vicar of Olney, William Worcester, who left in 1639. He was a Puritan and was disenchanted with Archbishop Laud and the way the Church of England was becoming increasingly High Church. He became the first minister of Salisbury, Massachusetts, remaining in that post until his death in 1662. Many families in the neighbourhood are of Huguenot descent and one of the reasons that they settled there was because of its Puritan sympathies. They migrated in three main waves between 1572 and 1685.

    ANNEX a to ITEM 8 Central Bletchley Regeneration Strategy

    ANNEX A TO ITEM 8 Central Bletchley Regeneration Strategy - Executive Summary Key Principles Use & activities Currently, Bletchley town centre remains comparatively unattractive to property developers and occupiers. The environment is out dated and creates a negative image for the town and its communities; reducing its ability to attract significant investment. This in turn has led to less people using the centre, creating lower expenditure and investment within the town. Bletchley needs to move forward from its existing primary role as a discount and value retailing location and strengthen its role as the second centre for the city of Milton Keynes. The challenge for the Framework is to create the conditions for Bletchley to promote itself as a place quite distinctive from the rest of Milton Keynes, yet complementary to CMK in its scale and richness of uses and activities. Achieving this will require the town to increase the diversity, quality and range of uses and activities offered in the centre. The Framework promotes the growth of key uses and activities including diversified mixed-use development; new retailing opportunities; residential town centre living; an evening economy with a range of restaurants, bars and cafes; employment opportunities to stimulate appropriate town centre employment; a new leisure centre and cultural and civic uses to fulfil Central Bletchley’s role as the city’s second centre. Access and Movement Pedestrian movement and cycle access throughout Central Bletchley is severely constrained by highly engineered road infrastructure, the railway station and sidings and through severance of Queensway caused by the Brunel Centre. Congested double roundabouts at Watling Street and Buckingham Road offer poor arrival points into the town and restrict car access into Bletchley.
