The issues raised were being addressed by the County Council before the submission of the petition and the comments reflect that issues have been resolved or are on-going. 2 Questions (a) Petitions A petition covering all the headings set out below was submitted to the meeting of the Full Council held on 27 January 2005. The issues raised were being addressed by the County Council before the submission of the petition and the comments reflect that issues have been resolved or are on-going. (i) Abbey Park Residents’ Association Petition against Traffic Congestion caused by local schools in Daws Hill Lane and other local roads:- St Augustine’s Catholic School St Bernard’s Catholic School Jackie Palmer Stage School Reply The information provided by the Residents Association set out above clearly shows a large amount of work has been done by Buckinghamshire County Council and Thames Valley Police to address the issues raised by the residents. A number of issues still require solutions. A member of Abbey Park Residents’ Association asked for an assurance that things were progressing. The Chairman replied that as the local member she would personally ensure that the Residents are kept informed and that progress would be made. The Local Coordinator added that the number of buses on Knights Temple Way has been reduced to four and that the Local Schools were participating in the Safer Routes to Schools Scheme. The Chairman invited the residents to attend the July meeting if they were not satisfied with progress. Petition requests to BCC Highways Department Following subsequent meetings with BCC Highways and Passenger Transport departments - the Abbey Park Residents’ Association have agreed to considerably pull back from some of the original requests. Petition requests are:- BUSES 1. BCC to continue to reduce numbers of Buses using Knights Templar Way as a “turning facility”. N Ongoing Buckinghamshire County Council comment - The number of buses scheduled to collected students from St Bernard’s School and Marlow Hill which are likely to need to turn round in the Daws Hill Area has been reduced to four. Buckinghamshire County Council do not schedule any bus to use Knights Templar Way, these decisions are made by contractors for operational reasons. The decisions will be influenced by depot location and where the vehicle is travelling from and it’s next destination. All operators have been advised of the wishes of the residents and they have been asked that vehicles do not make three point turns on Knights Templar Way. 3 2. BCC to adopt shared pick-up and drop off points for St Bernard’s, Wycombe High and John Hampden Schools. The Lay Bys on Marlow Hill to be used. N Under negotiation with Schools and BCC 3. BCC Passenger Transport to find alternative “Turning Facility” for all Buses - Knights Templar Way too congested with school traffic. N Under negotiation with BCC 4. Jackie Palmer Stage School Buses to be stopped from using Daws Hill Lane and Knights Templar Way as pick up/drop off points. Request BCC to instruct JPSS to use suitable facility, such as Leisure Centre coach park. N Under negotiation CAR PARKING 1. Double Yellow Lines to be placed at both entrances of Knights Templar Way N BCC requesting 2. Single Yellow Lines requested with Time Restrictions (20 minutes only between 2.00pm and 4.00pm) N BCC say they cannot approve Single Yellow Lines at present. N BCC looking into all possibilities regarding “Time Restrictions” N Under negotiation with BCC 3. White Lines to be place in front of all Driveway entrances to enable passage of traffic and access by Residents. N Under negotiation with BCC 4. Thames Valley Police Management to educate parents on parking N Ongoing with TVP 5. Community Police Constable to patrol Daws Hill Lane and Knights Templar Way on weekly basis during school pick up time. N Ongoing with TVP 6. BCC to work on School Travel Plan with St Bernard’s and St Augustine’s Schools. N Ongoing and under negotiation between BCC and Schools Buckinghamshire County Council Comment - Pedestrian training for pupils at St Augustine’s School will begin as soon as final clearances for the volunteer parents have been obtained. 7. BCC to look at all aspects of reducing School Parking in Abbey Park (at present 100 vehicles between 2.00pm and 4.00pm), including possible parking within St Augustine’s School grounds. N Under negotiation 8. Schools to provide improved turning capability in Daws Hill Lane adjacent to school buildings. N Under negotiation 9. BCC to work on Business Travel Plan with Jackie Palmer Stage School N Under negotiation – no progress to date 10. BCC to look at traffic generated by Jackie Palmer Stage School – parking facilities within grounds need to be found for this Commercial Business. N Under negotiation 4 Residents request that BCC communicate with all Schools and the Diocese to gain an understanding of all future developments. The two Catholic Schools have at present 1,000 pupils in this confined area, with only one access point feeding both schools. Potentially there is a “Risk” to both School Pupils and Local Residents. In addition the Residents are concerned that the Commercial Business of Jackie Palmer Stage School has been permitted to in effect create a third school in this same confined area, with subsequent traffic generation and noise nuisance. (b) Questions (i) From Hambleden Parish Council “During the recent snow, none of the coaches would use our roads, hence parents risked the journeys to school. Please could we have some more definite indication that our main route from Hambleden to Frieth, via Pheasants Hill and Rockwell End will be included in the salt route for next winter. We are aware that the routes are under review and we have been asking for at least 5 years.” The Chairman of Hambleden Parish Council expressed concern on behalf of the children attending Frieth School that the main route from Hambleden to Frieth is currently excluded from the salting route. He requested that the route be extended between the villages before a fatality occurs. Reply A report will be submitted to the July meeting on all the Winter Maintenance routes. (ii) From West Wycombe Parish Council “We would like to know if the positioning of the Mix 107.4 travel signs are going to be reviewed. We feel that the one placed on the West Wycombe Road just past the Pedestal is far to big and that once drivers are there they will already be in the traffic jam. We feel that they need to be placed further out to give advance notice of traffic problems and give drivers a chance to diver. Once you are on the West Wycombe Road you are stuck. Prior to the Pedestal and Piddington would be far more appropriate.” Reply The signs have been positioned within an ‘urban’ area and do not impact on the rural environment. Ideally the signs would have been placed before the start of the queues but in many instances, these would have been quite a way outside of Wycombe and for example coming down the A4128, in the AONB, which we did not feel was acceptable. In terms of giving drivers advance warning and alternative routes, this is something which is some way off and would require use of more hi- tech solutions such as variable message signs and the like, but the siting of these would need to be much further out where route choices were available.

  • Species Action Plan for Green-Winged Orchid: (Orchis Morio) in Buckinghamshire
    Buckinghamshire & Milton Keynes Biodiversity Action Plan Species Action Plans Species Action Plans National Species Action Plans 8.1 Biodiversity: The UK Steering Group Report (DETR, 1995) originally listed 416 priority species for which national Species Action Plans would be written. At that time 116 had already been written and 300 remained. In addition, a further 1,250 species were identified as being of ‘conservation concern’. The priority list was reviewed in 1997and in 2007. After the 2007 revision the total number of BAP priority species was set at 1149. This list is available in Biodiversity Reporting and Information Group Report on the Species and Habitat Review 2007. 8.2 The four scientific criteria that were used to select the UK BAP species in the 2007 review were; • International threat • International responsibility & moderate decline in the UK • Marked decline in the UK • Other important factors – where quantitative data on decline are inadequate but there is convincing evidence of extreme threat Local Species Action Plans for Buckinghamshire 8.3 On the publication of the Buckinghamshire & Milton Keynes BAP in 2000 it was planned that every species present in Bucks for which there is a national SAP or Conservation Statement, would eventually have a local SAP or Conservation Statement. SAPs would also be written for species which may not be considered a national priority, but which are threatened or declining within the County, such as green- winged orchid. 8.4 The following Plans were produced for species within Buckinghamshire. y Chiltern Gentian y Green-winged Orchid y Striped Lychnis Moth As Latin names were used in the original publication of the action plans for Chiltern gentian, green-winged orchid and striped lychnis moth, they have been retained in the following part of the document.

  • [ from the Editor
    [ From the Editor The big news in June is always Lane End fete, this year on Saturday 14th. I know I always go on about the Zippy Dipper, but I do love it so. It’s so old-school simple, but crazy fun for the little ones. The volunteers who organise the fete really need our help this year. If you can spare an hour or two to man a stall or help set up or clear away, it would make their day a lot easier. And anyway, it’s so much fun, kids especially love to have a ’job’ and feel properly involved. Call Bob Nix on 881000 and he’ll sort you out. An initiative that could make a huge difference to the older and less able people in our parish is a community bus. A committed group of villagers have been working with Bucks CC to fund a trial of a commu- nity bus service, but it needs volunteers to keep it running. (p44) Speaking of buses, parish councillor Nigel King has been decoding our complicated bus timetables. His simplified version is on page 56. Fingers crossed for a sunny fete and have a wonderful summer.

    point your feet on a new path Hambleden, the Weir, Medmenham Pheasants and Thames Pasture Distance: 19 km=12 miles or 16 km=10 miles easy walking Region: Chilterns Date written: 29-aug-2010 Author: Phegophilos Date revised: 6-jul-2017 Refreshments: Aston, Medmenham, Hambleden Last update: 16-feb-2019 Maps: Explorer 171 (Chiltern Hills West) & 172 (Chiltern Hills East) but the maps in this guide should be sufficient Problems, changes? We depend on your feedback: [email protected] Public rights are restricted to printing, copying or distributing this document exactly as seen here, complete and without any cutting or editing. See Principles on main webpage. River, villages, woodland, views In Brief This is a walk of great variety beginning at the Thames and then in typically wonderful Chiltern woods. It begins with an exhilarating crossing of the River Thames by a very long weir and passes through two of the most enchanting villages of the region. There are some nettles en route so long trousers are recommended. This walk is not recommended for a dog because of the sheep fields and the sensitive woodland sites. The going is easy and good walking shoes are sufficient. The walk begins next to the Flowerpot pub in the tiny hamlet of Aston (grid ref SU 785 842, postcode RG9 3DG ). You need to park your car before opening time (11am or 12 noon on Sunday). The Flowerpot is fantastically popular and you can’t use the pub’s car parks as a non-patron (unless you can buy Granny a double gin and leave her in the pub all day).

Foreword 1.1. I have undertaken this assessment of site allocations and housing supply upon instruction from and in the context of my involvement with Keep Bourne End Green (KBEG). The principal objectives for the assessment were defined as - • Validate the status of the housing supply in Bourne End and wider Wycombe District (including whether alternate brownfield sites are generally available), and; • Assess whether the release of Green Belt land at Hollands Farm is necessary to meet the unmet housing need. 1.2. I have a professional background founded in information technology with a long (25-year) history specialising in data services and for the past decade delivering data analytics to blue- chip companies. This gives me the necessary experience, expertise and understanding to co- ordinate the KBEG sub-group team in the core tasks required to fulfil the aims of this assessment including defining, collecting and processing data from planning records and site information embedded across a wide body of reports.
