Bucks County Councillor Mark Shaw, Cabinet Member for Transportation, urges road users in Buckinghamshire to report potholes when they see them.

Transport for Buckinghamshire will investigate every pothole reported to them, and react on a risk based prioritisation process – put simply, that means the worst ones will be attended to first, as a matter of urgency.  We need members of the public to report them to us either using the online form, which only takes a few minutes, or by calling if it’s dangerous or an emergency.

You can report potholes, as well as any other road issue, using the Report It forms on the county council website. In an emergency, for instance a severe road defect, a flooded road, or a tree in the road, you can always call Transport for Buckinghamshire on 01296 382416 or 486630 (out of hours). The online reporting tool is at www.buckscc.gov.uk/services/transport-and-roads/report-a-problem/report-a-pothole/

 

Transport for Bucks have just announced that Copperkins Lane will be closed between Fulers Hill and Weedon Lane from 5th March and 1st June 2018 as they carry out roadworks.  

The Chilterns Conservation Board have launched a survey on the Chilterns.  They want to hear from local organisations and members of the public about what they value about the Chilterns, what their concerns are and what the priorities should be for the future.  The survey will form part of their review of the Chilterns AONB Management Plan.  The link to the survey is here: www.surveymonkey.com/r/FutureOfTheChilterns.

Please see some photos of wintery scenes in the village.

The Christmas Lights event was very well attended, despite really cold conditions. Everyone gathered around the Norwegian Fir tree adjacent to the War Memorial. Soft drinks for the kids and warm mulled wine for the adults were served by councillors, along with mince pies and chocolate treats. Chesham Bois C of E Combined School children began the singing with ‘Bleak Midwinter’, followed by the children of Chestnut Lane Infant School, singing ‘Children of the World’. All the children were then invited to hang their homemade decorations on the tree. Then, after a countdown, the Christmas Tree lights were switched on.

Thank you to all the staff of Chestnut Lane and Chesham Bois Church of England schools, who came along on a bitterly cold afternoon to direct their school choirs.

We managed to acquire the Christmas Tree Farm’s largest tree, this year. As you can see, transporting the tree was no easy task! Fortunately, Councillor Heath provided his trailer and we transported the tree up the Amersham Road.
