David Onslow attended a meeting of the BCC Wycombe Local Area Committee held at the Lane End Conference Centre on the 24th January to discuss the report from the BCC Highways engineer, Mr Ken Moloughney, relating to the VTP. 

In general, his report was quite positive, with suggestions of what BCC could, or could not, support.

The Group had been advised that the Committee would have reviewed the report and would comment on it, advising on possible funding for some of the proposals.  Unfortunately, however, they felt unable to discuss the report as it was thought that this was a local issue, and therefore the VTP will be passed back to the Chepping Wycombe/Wye Valley Forum for consideration.
The Group are disappointed at this outcome, but will continue to press for the VTP to be implemented.

SIDs (Speed Indicator Devices), which flash up the speed of approaching vehicles, and are proposed in the VTP, have been renamed VASs “Vehicle Activated Signals”.

Parking

In parallel with the VTP, the Police & Traffic Group asked residents to let them know about locations in the village where illegal or inconsiderate parking was causing problems.

The collated responses to this Parking Survey can be viewed by clicking on the icon below.

Residents should continue to report any parking issues to the PAT Group so that they can provide substantive evidence to the relevant authorities to get these problems resolved.

The Group are pleased to note that at last Thames Valley Police are taking positive action against illegal parking in Chapel Road, as well as in Old Kiln Road, during Carrington School’s opening and closing times.  It is hoped that similar action will soon be taken around Juniper School.
