Dear Resident,

After many meetings with relevant County Councillors and other parties,  this ePetition has been posted on the Bucks CC website.  It remains live for 28 days  (until 20th Dec.) , if you choose to do so please support it as soon as possible , many have already said they will.  Remember all residents in a household who are 16 or over can support it. After the 28 days there will be a consultation period and we will hopefully hear the outcome at a meeting of the North West Chilterns Community Board on 6^th March which I will attend – it’s a long process!

• To access the ePetition, please left click the link below, and then left click on the link that appears on your screen (or input the link into your browser) –  this should take you directly to the active and completed ePetitions at Buckinghamshire Council. 
• https://buckinghamshire.moderngov.co.uk/mgEPetitionListDisplay.aspx?VM=2

• You will then see a short list of ePetitions – click on ours, and add your details please – your name, and address.

I will be adding supporting evidence later as well.  Some of you have already told me or written to me with examples of, e.g., near misses.  Can you please email me a short letter about them so I can add them as ‘residents’ evidence’ – we will be adding information on speed recordings carried out recently.  This shows that not many drivers exceed the 50 limit, however we are basing our petition on the concern that the actual limit is itself too high – you will see the wording when you read the ePetition.

If you need any help accessing it just let me know and I will help you.

Kind regards

Brian McCollum

NWC LCWIP Supplimentary Doc – DRAFT Nov 22 (2)

Some of you may recall that at several HVRA Committee meetings we have spoken about a proposed cycle route that runs through the King George V playing field, through NT land, Hughenden Park and onwards to the town and beyond.

With this in mind, please see the attached document regarding the development of Buckinghamshire Council’s Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan (LCWIP) which is a draft document that has been produced over the last 18 months by the Community Board’s Transport and Road Issues Action Group. Jill Armshaw, one of our Hughenden Valley Parish Councillors, has passed this on to the HVRA because, as a keen walker and cyclist, she wishes to raise awareness locally about this matter and hopes that you may be able to assist by sharing this information with residents.

Although this is an “aspirational” plan at the present time, support is vital for this initiative to progress into reality. It’s about the future for residents who live in this locality and beyond, i.e. to reduce their carbon footprint and cycle and walk in safety away from speeding traffic. The draft Plan is extensive with schemes covering a wide area. However, on page 7, you will find Map 4 that illustrates the plan for Hughenden Valley.

As comments and feedback have to be submitted to the Community Board by 31st March, could you please pass them on to

as soon as you can because Cllr Armshaw believes it is important that the Parish Council supports this aspiration to improve provision for cycling and walking locally.
