County Council keeps watch on Marlow Bridge
Teams from Transport for Buckinghamshire will patrol Marlow Bridge this weekend (11-14 January) to prevent overweight vehicles from crossing. Patrols will be supported by advance warning signs and a camera van.
The action is being taken during closure of the main A404 Wycombe to Maidenhead road while Highways England replaces the renovated Volvo footbridge across both carriageways.
The A404 will close at 9pm on Friday 11 January and reopen at 5am on Monday 14 January.
Mark Shaw, Buckinghamshire County Council Deputy Leader and Transport Cabinet Member, said: “My main concern is to protect Marlow Bridge from damage by vehicles over three tonnes. While the main A404 is closed for the weekend by Highways England, the temptation to use Marlow Bridge as a short cut might be too great for some drivers.”
For further information please contact: Richard Wells, on 01296 382444 or out of hours on 07825 430978

Below is a message from the Parish Council to all residents of the Parish
I write on behalf of Hughenden Parish Council to request your assistance in gauging parishioner opinion with respect to the provision of notice boards in the parish.
Local councils must under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 have a Publication Scheme which makes certain information available to the public. In addition to information published on a council website http://www.hughendenparishcouncil.org.uk/ councils must display notice of any meeting open to the public by statute at the local council office and affix notices ‘in some conspicuous places in the locality’.
Council wish to ensure that there is adequate provision of notice boards within the parish:
It is suggested that the above criteria may be fulfilled by a notice board design having one half of the notice board designated ‘parish council notices’ and the other half designated ‘community notices’. The ‘parish council notices’ section would be glazed and notices posted by council officers. The ‘community notices’ section may be open for public use. The entire notice board would be headed ‘Hughenden Parish Council’. Please see the photograph attached as a possible example. The size of the notice board would depend on location and the population of that community. The council would prefer a uniform design throughout the parish.
Hughenden Parish Council consists of four wards comprising eight villages/settlements. In addition to minor notice boards at allotments, ponds etc the council has external notice boards at the following locations:
Council invite feedback on effectiveness of notice boards at existing locations and wish to gauge interest in installing notice boards in communities without this provision e.g. Hughenden Valley, Bryants Bottom, Naphill and Cryers Hill. It would be appreciated if feedback specifies exact locations and requirements. There are several online suppliers of quality notice boards. The notice boards in Widmer End and Garden of Rest were sourced from Greenbarnes www.greenbarnes.co.uk. Council prefer to install man-made timber (recycled plastic) as this reduces maintenance costs while providing a long lasting quality product. If you wish to see an example then I suggest visiting the Garden of Rest although the notice board at this location is larger than would be required in most communities.
Please would you be so kind as to share this email with community groups to gauge opinion from a range of residents. The parish council welcomes feedback from village halls and residents association committees. Council will consider feedback received at the Services Committee Meeting to be held at 7.30 pm on Tuesday 26th February 2019 at the parish council office. Members of the public are welcome to attend and may address the committee during Public Participation at the start of the meeting.
Please ensure that all feedback is received by the parish council office by Thursday 31st January 2019.
Many thanks in anticipation of your assistance and if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
