Dear Arion Further to your letter dated 27th October 2009 inviting comments from the Parish Council with regard to the proposed new warding arrangements. The Aspley Heath Parish Council support the Conservative proposal that Aspley Heath should sit in the same ward as Woburn. Aspley Heath has ties with Woburn both geographically and traditionally and the PC feel that it is important to maintain these whereas they fail to see any natural affinity with Westoning, Pulloxhill and Flitton. Regards Lyn Davis Clerk to Aspley Heath Parish Council From: M Mugridge Sent: 10 January 2010 14:51 To: Reviews@ Cc: Gill Wiggs Subject: Blunham Parish - Wardship Dear Sirs We (the Parish Council of Blunham) are given to understand that in the matter of the consideration of electoral ward boundaries, Sandy Town Council has put forward a proposal to incorporate our parish and that of Mogerhanger within its boundary. Our feeling on the proposal is that the current makeup of the Northill and Blunham Ward is aligned with its rural character and would not fit well with the essentially urban nature of the Sandy ward. Although at one time Sandy was a market town and functioned to serve the surrounding villages, because of its location on the A1 and the London rail link its main purpose now is as a dormitory town with a smattering of light industry. We think it fair to say that the residents of Blunham look primarily to Sandy for the doctors and dentist surgeries only, as Bedford, St Neots and Biggleswade offer better shopping facilities. Inevitably any discussions within the ward would tend to be dominated by the thoughts and needs of the Town Council with the rural parishes being disadvantaged. Furthermore we understand that the reason for this is to enable Sandy Town Council justification to retain two Unitary Councillors. We are of the opinion this is not a valid justification for changing the current arrangement with which we are well satisfied. With regards Malcolm Mugridge Chairman Blunham Parish Council Page 1 of 1 Eleanor Gregory From: Harlington Parish Council Sent: 24 December 2009 12:25 To: Arion Lawrence Cc: [email protected] Subject: Electoral Review of Central Bedfordshire Attachments: Boundary Committee - Electoral Review of Central Beds - 23.12.09.DOC Dear Mr Lawrence Please find a letter attached with regards the above.

Further to the Council’s previous letter dated 11th September 2009 on this matter and the additional information received from Central Bedfordshire Council, it wishes to reiterate that with regards the new warding arrangements, it believes Harlington would be more naturally linked with Toddington and Westoning as all three villages are along the A5120 corridor and thus have very similar interests. As for the number of councilors per ward it was ask that there be no less than two. If I can be of any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me.

We understand that the proposals put forward by Central Bedfordshire Council propose placing the parish of Shillington in a one member ward with Gravenhurst and Silsoe. Shillington Parish Council considers that Shillington parish has no commonality with Silsoe and feels that it would be better placed in a ward with Meppershall and Gravenhurst. Shillington has more in common with Gravenhurst and Meppershall (same middle school catchment area, same Police Safer Neighbourhood Team, etc) and has worked closely with Meppershall in the past, for example when they jointly funded the employment of a Police Community safety officer to tackle antisocial behaviour and other issues. We trust that you will take into consideration these comments when making a decision but should you require any further information please do not hesitate to contact us Yours sincerely Clerk to the Council Page 1 of 2 Eleanor Gregory From: Andrew Stephenson Sent: 11 January 2010 14:26 To: Arion Lawrence Cc: [email protected] Subject: Electoral Review of Central Bedfordshire Attachments: SPC 2nd letter to Boundary Committee.doc Dear Sirs Please find attached and below, a letter from the Streatley Parish Council. Yours faithfully A J Stephenson Clerk to the Streatley Parish Council January 10th 2010 The Review Officer (Central Bedfordshire) The Boundary Committee for England Trevelyan House Great Peter Street London SW1P 2HW Dear Sir I have been asked to let you know the further views of the Streatley Parish Council concerning the review of Central Bedfordshire. The Council has been supplied with details of the proposals submitted by the Conservative Group and the Liberal Democrat Group and would like to make the following comments. The Parish of Streatley has very little in common with the village of Barton-Le-Clay and very little contact with that village or the village of Pulloxhill. The Streatley Parish Council does not consider that it would be appropriate for all these areas to be part of the same ward. Similarly, the Parish has very little in common with and virtually no contact with the much larger villages of Harlington and Toddington. The Streatley Parish Council is of the opinion that there should be one ward made up of the parishes of Sundon, Chalton and Streatley. These three villages have much in common and are of similar size. The Parish Council would again like to draw the Committee’s attention to the small area of the Bushmead estate. This falls within Streatley Parish but is entirely separate and has very little contact with the rest of the Parish. The area consists entirely of dwelling houses and all amenities, such as shops, the community centre and the nearest public house, are outside the Parish. The area is served by a different church and a different utility company to the rest of Streatley Parish, and is part of a different police division. There is very little contact between the residents of the estate and the rest of Streatley Parish. The Luton Borough Council owns much of the land in the vicinity of the Bushmead estate and is responsible for certain aspects of maintenance and upkeep under the original handover agreement and other agreements with Central Bedfordshire Council. The Parish Council has suggested on a number of occasions that the area should not be part of Streatley Parish. 19/01/2010 Page 2 of 2 Yours faithfully A J Stephenson Clerk to the Streatley Parish Council Do you have a story that started on Hotmail? Tell us now 19/01/2010 STREATLEY PARISH COUNCIL January 10th 2010 The Review Officer (Central Bedfordshire) The Boundary Committee for England Trevelyan House Great Peter Street London SW1P 2HW Dear Sir I have been asked to let you know the further views of the Streatley Parish Council concerning the review of Central Bedfordshire.

On 26 July 1985 we wrote to Bedfordshire County Council announcing our intention to undertake a review of the County under section 48{1) of the Local Government Act 1972. Copies of the letter were sent to the principal local authorities, and parishes, in Bedfordshire and in the surrounding counties of Buckinghamshire, Cambridgeshire, Hertfordshire and Northamptonshire; to the National and County Associations of Local Councils; to the Members of Parliament with constituency interests and to the headquarters of the main political parties. In addition, copies were sent to those government departments, regional health authorities, water authorities, and electricity and gas boards which might have an interest, as well as to British Telecom, the English Tourist Board, the local government press and to local television and radio stations serving the area. 2. The County Councils were requested, in co-operation as necessary with the other local authorities, to assist us in publicising the start of the review by inserting a notice for two successive weeks in local newspapers so as to give a wide coverage in the areas concerned.

  • Chapter 10 Summary and Conclusions
    CHAPTER 10 SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS This thesis represents an attempt to understand the glacial geology of the south Bedfordshire/north Hertfordshire area and its relationship to adjacent regions, and the course of events during the period relating to deposition of the glacigenic sediments. The objectives were: 1) To review previous research both from within the study area and adjacent areas and to assess the validity of the conclusions reached. 2) To gather new data on till deposits within the area. 3) To establish a local lithostratigraphic sequence. 4) Where possible, to correlate major units in this sequence with those in adjacent areas. 5) To reconstruct the glacial dynamics and glacial palaeogeography of the study area and to put this into a regional context. A total of 68 samples from 29 sites were selected. 27 samples were from boreholes not previously investigated within the area of the Hitchin Channel. Previous borehole data, especially to the north of Hitchin, are sparse and often rather dated, yielding vague and unreliable information. Thus the additional data from this study provided a valuable input to research. Macrofabric analyses were performed on 35 samples and the results were subjected to further statistical analysis in order to gain an insight into the depositional processes. The results suggest most of the tills within the study are deformed lodgement tills. This type is considered common above deformable bedrock (Hart et al., 1990) such as the Gault and Oxford Clays and the Woburn Sands present across a major part of the study area. Deformed lodgement tills were also found within the Hitchin and Stevenage Channels where they have been deposited above glacial sand, gravels or silt.

As agreed by the principal organisations in Woburn Sands, and by neighbouring parish councils, both documents have been prepared by Woburn Sands Town Council but have benefitted from contributions from those organisations. Nature of Woburn Sands 2. Woburn Sands is an established community on the outskirts of Milton Keynes. A map of the parish boundary is attached as Appendix A 3. The settlement now known as Woburn Sands was part of the original ecclesiastical parish of Wavendon along with part of Aspley Guise and Aspley Heath. Until about 1820 the settlement was known as Hogsty End although references to the name Woburn Sands appear in the late 18C. In 1846 the railway arrived. In 1865 the boundaries of the ecclesiastical parishes were re-drawn and the Woburn Sands parish established; at that time it included part of Aspley Guise and Aspley Heath and it is for that reason that the Parish Church is located on the Heath. In 1907 civil parishes were established and the current boundaries with Aspley Guise and Aspley Heath were fixed. In 1972 the Woburn Sands Parish Council declared that Woburn Sands was a town and the Parish Council became the Town Council. 4. Most of the central part of the town dates from the mid-19C; much of this now forms a Conservation Area. The town has evolved continuously since then but the most significant expansion came in the 1960s and 1970s (the Elm Grove area, Tidbury Close, Tavistock Close and Vandyke Close).
