Southern Locality Profile Southern Locality Profile Prevention Matters Priorities The Community Links Officer (CLO) has identified a number of key Prevention Matters priorities for the locality that will form the focus of the work over the next few months. These priorities also help to determine the sort of services and projects where Prevention Matters grants can be targeted. The priorities have been identified using the data provided by the Community Practice Workers (CPW) in terms of successful referrals and unmet demand (gaps where there are no appropriate services available), consultation with district council officers, town and parish councils, other statutory and voluntary sector organisations and also through the in depth knowledge of the cohort and the locality that the CLO has gained. The CLO has also worked with the other CLOs across the county to identify some key countywide priorities which affect all localities. Countywide Priorities Befriending Community Transport Southern Locality Priorities Increase Dementia Care Provision (quality and quantity) Healthy Lifestyle Provision (exercise, healthy eating, smoking) Mental Health Services for under 65s, (education and life skills) Increase Volunteering & student placement participation Improve access to community services including transport Befriending and shopping support Carer Support Background data Physical Area The Southern Locality comprises of 152 Km2 / 58 Square miles and is inhabited by approximately 70,000 people (8% growth over 2001-2011 Census with no projected significant growth to 2016 though increase in ageing is predicted). South Bucks District population estimate 67,000 Mid-2012. (Source ONS). This includes areas such as Beaconsfield, not covered by the Southern CCG Locality however does not include parts of the territory within Chiltern District (Chalfont St Peter, Chalfont St Giles and Seer Green) Total population of South Bucks District 2013 = 67,941 Age Structure: 20-44=27.6% 45-64=28.2% 65-79=14.4% 80+=6.2% Household Composition (South Bucks average) Single non-pensionable households 12.9% Single pensioner 14% = 9512 All other pensioner households 10.9% = 7456 Overall, the population is forecast to increase by 22.6% for South Bucks against an overall England increase of 16.2%. The movement is estimated to be almost all due to net migration, mainly from other parts of England. The largest increase is in the 65+ age group, forecast to increase by 72.8% (23,500), against 65% for England. The largest percentage increase by group is the 85+ age group across South Bucks and England, with the numbers of over ninety-year olds in the district expected to more than double to 2000.

This is largely consistent with Census research making it the fourth largest of the seven Bucks GP localities. The population is older than the Buckinghamshire average, with a higher proportion of people aged 65+ and deprivation is lower with the exception of some small areas being more deprived. The locality is generally less ethnically diverse than the Bucks average, though some areas are similar.

Conversely residents of Farnham Royal and residents of New Denham are served by GP practices in Slough and Uxbridge respectively and therefore GP referral in to Prevention Matters are less likely to be from Buckinghamshire residents in these cases. 2013-2015 Priorities Encourage best practice between member practices Increase planned care in the community Reduce emergency admissions to acute hospitals Improve prescribing quality and reduce costs Improve wellbeing and lifestyle behaviours Engage more fully with patients and the public South Bucks District Health Profile PH Population: 68,000 Mid-2013 In 2012, 20.4% of adults were classified as obese.

  • Descendants of Sampson Toovey and Katherine Shrimpton of Amersham
    DESCENDANTS OF SAMPSON TOOVEY AND KATHERINE SHRIMPTON OF AMERSHAM January 2017, revised August 2017 1 PREFACE This research was undertaken at the request of the Curator of Amersham Museum, Emily Toettcher, who wanted information about the Toovey family members who had lived in the building that now houses the museum. It was very soon apparent that much investigation had already been carried out. The trigger- factor was probably the death of Ronald Frank Toovey on 14 August 1980 in Wycombe Hospital. He was the last survivor of the four children of Frederick Samson Toovey and Sarah Ann Clare. He was unmarried, childless and intestate and, although his solicitors twice attended to try to get a Will drawn, it was too late. The solicitors commissioned a genealogist to act as heir hunter and eventually heirs were identified and the estate distributed. This seems to have generated interest in their ancestry among the descendants of Ronald Frank’s grandfather Henry Toovey (1822-1910). At that time there was considerable interest also in exploring the capabilities of computers for storing and analysing genealogical data. The Toovey family featured in an article in Computers in Genealogy in March 1993 1. In 1995 Richard Boyles wrote Toovey’s in Amersham, My Family History and kindly presented a copy to Amersham Museum. While carrying out this research he became aware of Dr DW Jopling who two years later would publish The Descendants of Toovey of Watlington, born ca 1540. A copy of this, accompanied by a roll pedigree, is in the Library of the Society of Genealogists in London.

  • Moving out of London for Village Life? Here Are the Top 7 Most Popular Villages to Move to in the Chilterns Submitted By: Hudia Tuesday, 16 March 2021
    Moving out of London for village life? Here are the top 7 most popular villages to move to in The Chilterns Submitted by: Hudia Tuesday, 16 March 2021 Due to COVID, Chiltern Relocation has seen a shift in house-hunter priorities. Walking distance to a train station and a super quick commute into London, is no longer top of the list of requirements. Sharon Hewitt, founder of multi-award winning Chiltern Relocation said: “Clients are wanting a more rural lifestyle but are still keen to enjoy all the perks of town life such as local schools, pubs and shops and an active community. We’ve drawn up our list of the seven most popular village locations in The Chilterns, perfect to relocate to.” Penn Penn is a sought-after village in Buckinghamshire, a couple of miles north of Beaconsfield. At its centre is a very picturesque duck pond and village green. Penn is within the Chiltern Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and is very popular with families wanting a semi-rural setting but close to major transport links. It is only minutes from the M40, M25 and Heathrow. Penn is also very close to the mainline rail station at Beaconsfield with journey times of approx. 25 minutes to London Marylebone. Penn has a thriving village community. It boasts a few village shops and doctor’s surgery. There are a number of excellent local country pubs dotted around Penn and the neighbouring villages of Tylers Green and Forty Green. There are great primary schools in the village. Penn Street Penn’s smaller neighbour, Penn Street, is nestled in the Chiltern hills.

  • Iver Motorway Service Area Response, February 2021
    President: Rt.Hon. the Lord Randall of Uxbridge Kt.PC. Planning Service Buckinghamshire Council King George V House King George V Road Amersham HP6 5AW February 2021 Dear Sir/Madam Re: Planning application PL/20/4332/0A Motorway Service Area between Junctions 15 and 16 near Iver Heath This application falls within the Colne Valley Regional Park (CVRP) and the Green Belt. Buckinghamshire Council and the former Chiltern and South Bucks Councils have been supporters of the CVRP since its inception. We hope the Council will continue to uphold the six objectives of the CVRP since this application represents the loss of farmland; the loss of 46 Ha of the CVRP and the Green Belt in a sensitive location; harm to recreational rights of way; harm to watercourses which run through the development, and the loss of, and harm to, existing grassland, woodland, hedgerows and their accompanying biodiversity. • This response to the planning application also looks at the case for the Motorway Service Areas affecting the CVRP, including the one in this location • The strategic planning context and the impact on the Green Belt • The extent of the harm arising from the scheme and • The scale of mitigation that should accompany the development if the very special circumstances’ (VSC) were to be accepted by the decision maker (whether the Council or Secretary of State). The case for an MSA in this location This application for a motorway service area is one of three currently being considered by local authorities along the north-western edge of the M25. All the operators state that there is a need for an MSA on this stretch of motorway between the existing Cobham and South Mimms MSAs.
