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.

    02/00866/MIN WASTE MANAGEMENT FACILITY INCLUDING MATERIALS RECOVERY, COMPOSTING , BIOLOGICAL WASTE TREATMENT, ENERGY RECOVERY, CONTINUED LANDFILL AND ASSOCIATED CLAY EXTRACTION, ACCESS ROAD, VISITOR CENTRE, CAR PARKING, RAIL ACCESS, RAIL SIDINGS, RAIL RECEPTION AREA, RAIL CONTAINER LOADING AND UNLOADING PLANT AND RAIL CONTAINER STORAGE AREA AT Bletchley Landfill Site, Bletchley Road, Newton Longville FOR Shanks Waste Services Limited The Proposal Planning permission is being sought for an Integrated Waste Management Facility to be sited at Bletchley Landfill Site. The proposal includes facilities for materials recovery from waste, buildings for composting and other biological treatment, plant for the recovery of energy from residential waste through thermal treatment, a research and development complex, a visitor centre, continued landfill and associated day working, a new road access connecting to the Stoke Hammond bypass when constructed, offices and car parking, a new rail access and rail reception area comprising a rail spur from the Bletchley to Oxford line, rail sidings and an associated area for container loading, unloading and storage. The Application Site The application site extends to 155 hectares as the development site includes the existing landfill site. The final landform of the landfill site would be altered from that recently given planning permission to enable the proposed waste management facility to be sited at the lowered ground level within the former brick clay pit. The application site straddles the boundary of this authority and Buckinghamshire County Council. The parts of the application comprising the composting facility, the rail reception area and the southern part of the new access road would, therefore, fall to Buckinghamshire County Council to determine.

    Designation of a body for English higher education information Government consultation response January 2018 Contents Introduction 3 Summary of responses received 4 Main findings from the consultation 4 Question analysis 5 Questions 1-2 5 Question 3 6 Question 4 7 Next steps 8 Annex A: List of organisations that responded to the consultation 9 Annex B: HESA Expression of interest for the role of the DDB 13 2 Introduction In order to meet the relevant consultation requirements set out in the Higher Education and Research Act 2017 (HERA), the Department for Education, on behalf of the new Office for Students (OfS), sought views from respondents across the HE sector, including providers and students on the role of the Designated Data Body (DDB) and the functions that it must carry out. It followed an invitation for expressions of interest in the role which closed on 19 September, and to which one body, the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) provided a submission. The consultation, published 19 October 2017, therefore explored the views of respondents on the suitability of HESA to fulfil the role of the DDB, and on the suitability of any other organisation which consultees wished to suggest, but which had not expressed an interest. The responses to this consultation received both digitally and informal written responses are now informing the OfS’s recommendation to the Secretary of State on designating a data body and decision-making and design in relation to its regulatory framework, which will be published by the end of March 2018. 3 Summary of responses received Overall there was overwhelming support for the HESA as a body that is credible and suitable to fulfil the role of the DDB.

The northern border of the benefice, at Emberton, also borders the thriving market town of Olney. This is a lovely place to live and an exciting place to minister. The vacancy offers many opportunities for developing the mission of these churches and the lay teams here are eager to reach out into their communities. This is an exciting time to be joining the Newport deanery too. With the ongoing expansion of Milton Keynes and the planned Oxford-Cambridge arc, and East-West rail, this part of the world will become even more of a hub than it already is. Because of the proposed reorganisation of the whole deanery, we seek to appoint an Interim Priest-in-Charge with the gifts and experience to prepare this benefice for its ministry and mission in the years to come.

    Milton Keynes Students get Self Service with Numara Track-It! Submitted by: C8 Consulting Monday, 20 July 2009 •Numara Software continues its march into the education sector with its market leading help desk solution, Numara Track-It! •Numara Track-It! supports 22 sites, 15,000 students and 1,500 staff for Milton Keynes College Reading, UK, 20th July 2009: Continuing a trend of contract wins in the important education sector, Numara® Software, Inc., a leader in service desk management solutions, announced today that the rapidly expanding further education and training establishment, Milton Keynes College, is to upgrade its existing solution, Numara® Track-It!®, to the latest version. Improving processes is a continual driver within the education sector, where wider education and sporting facilities and more students mean an increasing volume of IT demands from an array of users eager to have their support needs met. This in turn leads to growing complexity for the help desk. In the case of Milton Keynes College, which has campus sites at Bletchley, Chaffron Way and Kiln Farm, that means a help desk serving the support requirements of over 15,000 students and 1,500 staff, managing and closing over 10,000 support calls a year, or 800 calls a month, with a small IT department that only comprises 18 staff. The College’s growing activities – it is in partnership with the University of Bedfordshire and recently swept the Board in a national competition to find the best young designers in the UK –have increased the workload on the help desk, leading to the decision by the College to upgrade the Numara Track-It! solution it has used for the last four years to the latest version.

  • Core Strategy: Submission Version
    Core Strategy: Submission Version (4) Position Statement Milton Keynes Council Position Statement Land East of the M1 motorway i. The Secretary of State's Proposed Changes to the South East Plan (July 2008), include a recommendation in Policy MKAV1 (Housing Distribution by District 2006-2026) for "at least 5,600 dwellings by 2026 on suitable sites to the east of the M1 motorway" and that in order to bring about the step change in housing delivery, Core Strategy: Submission Version suitable sites in this location should be brought forward now. The Secretary of State recognises that further studies may be needed to test the ultimate scale of development suitable for this area after 2026 and to that end states that "The form of development east of the M1 motorway should not prejudice consideration of future development in the locality after 2026". ii. The reason given in the Proposed Changes for the introduction of the land to the east of the M1 is to help meet the Government's aims for a step change in housing provision. It also seems that the 5,600 homes proposed for this area are intended to compensate for the ‘lost’ homes proposed by the Panel for the Bedfordshire part of the South East Strategic Development Area (SDA). iii. Milton Keynes Council's response to the Proposed Changes consultation was agreed at Cabinet on 7 October 2008. In addition to approving the detailed comments on the Proposed Changes, Cabinet gave the go ahead to consideration of a legal challenge to the final version of the South East Plan should the allocation of land east of the M1 remain, subject to a report assessing the potential grounds for a challenge.
