Streetlighting – Streetlighting along main roads such as the A4 are the responsibility of BCC. However, most of the village lights have been installed and maintained by the Parish Council so please contact us if you have any concerns about village streetlighting.
Traffic calming – BCC are responsible for road safety but the Parish Council is committed to doing what it can to ease congestion and make parish roads safer for our residents. To this end we have acquired a Moveable Vehicle Activated Sign for use on a number of our parish roads where residents have identified speeding as an issue.
Trees – The trees on the village green and in the Old Priory Gardens are managed by the Parish Council. Arboricultural surveys are regularly undertaken and any necessary safety work promptly carried out. However, there are always risks associated with trees, particularly in bad weather, so if you become aware of any concerns regarding a tree managed by us please contact us.
Vegetation – Overgrown vegetation is a regular problem, particularly on the parish roads. BCC is responsible for cutting back or arranging for land owners to cut back where necessary if the vegetation is affecting roads, verges or footways. Contact Transport for Bucks through the Buckinghamshire Council website.
Village Green, Halls and Car park – These are managed by the Parish Council. In case of concern, please contact us.
