Public Open Forum Richard Freeman (Simpson and Ashland) announced that Simpson and Ashland Parish Council had been offered the use of Speed Indicator Devices (SID’s) through Adrian Carden (Road Safety Team Leader, MK Council) and were seeking the involvement of neighbouring parish councils. Training was on offer. A total of 4 volunteers were needed. More information would be forthcoming. To be added to the next agenda. Les Burgess (Chair of the Patch Allotment Association) relayed the Association’s thanks for the financial contributions from the Parish Council towards the Bee Project and the Open Day. The latter had been a great success, with a strong turnout. £126 was raised. Charlotte Hall (WotGS) asked for any update on the Conservation area status. No change at present. Phil Wareham (WotGN) advertised a new event proposed by the retail businesses at Oakgrove who planned to run a Fun Day on the last weekend in August and were seeking community involvement. Caroline Cooke (WotGS) complained of fires being lit by plot-holders in the allotments without due regard for neighbours. Fires had been lit when weather conditions were too still to ventilate the smoke or too late in the day and left to smoulder late into the evening – this caused a real nuisance making her shut all windows during hot nights.

  • Alternative New Warding Arrangement for Milton Keynes Council Dear Sir
    Fuller, Heather From: Fuller, Heather Sent: 18 March 2013 09:15 To: Hinds, Alex Subject: FW: Milton Keynes Review Attachments: MK Ward Proposals - Iain Stewart_JPG From: STEWART, Iain Sent: 17 March 2013 17:33 To: Reviews@ Subject: Milton Keynes Review Alternative New Warding Arrangement for Milton Keynes Council Dear Sir, As the Member of Parliament for Milton Keynes South, I would like to make a representation to the consultation on the proposed new wards for Milton Keynes Council. My submission relates to the proposals for the area of Milton Keynes Council covered by my Milton Keynes South Parliamentary constituency; namely the existing 11 wards of Stony Stratford, Loughton Park, Emerson Valley, Furzton, Denbigh, Whaddon, Bletchley & Fenny Stratford, Eaton Manor, Woughton, Walton Park and Danesborough. I support the Commission’s proposed Tattenhoe and Woughton & Fishermead wards. However, I have proposed an alternative warding for the other areas of my seat. In addition, I have made suggestions for the remaining areas of Milton Keynes. This is simply to show that my proposals for the area covered by my constituency do not result in difficulties in composing wards in the rest of Milton Keynes. While I would argue that my proposals do reflect local communities and ties, other proposals may be preferable. For the MK South areas, I have been able to come up with an arrangement that preserves the “Western Flank” area (with the boundaries of the A5, A421 and the council boundary) and the Bletchley area (covered by Bletchley & Fenny Stratford Town Council and West Bletchley Parish) without a cross‐community ward that has attracted some criticism.

In a first for the Council I am pleased to inform you that we have now taken over the ownership of Browns Wood Sports Ground from Milton Keynes Council through the Community Asset Transfer scheme. This presents many opportunities for the Council, some of which you may be aware of, like the building of a Pavilion and enhancing the play facilities. Walton Community Council’s Events Working Party has also been busy throughout the summer organising events for the community, including the Family Fit and Fun day and our Summer Fayre. Both events were well attended, especially the recent Summer Fayre, and although it had to be held indoors due to the windy weather, this did not seem to dampen the community spirit.

The findings of this study have informed the Council’s new Local Plan. Plan:MK is the new local plan currently being prepared by the Council. Part of the process is to gather a full evidence base for all services and provision across a wide range of opportunities and constraints within the Milton Keynes policy area. The Open Space Assessment forms an essential component of the emerging plan. Milton Keynes Council has a long tradition of enhancing and providing a network of open space for its residents and visitors. The Council recognises that open spaces are essential components of the City’s infrastructure and fabric that can help reduce health inequalities; spur economic growth and energise community engagement promoting community cohesion. This study provides a robust and up to date assessment of open space across the Milton Keynes area. iii Contents Executive Summary ....................................................................................................... iii 1 Introduction ................................................................................................................ 2 Study Aim and objectives ..........................................................................................
