Council Resolution

All Councillors have signed a notice to grant dispensations for Councillors to speak and vote on the setting of the parish precept for Edlesborough Parish until the next ordinary election scheduled for May 2015.

Due to further information to come from Central Government the setting of the parish precept had to be delayed and will therefore be notified in the March issue of Focus.

Code of Conduct

The latest approved Code of Conduct is available on both AVDC and the Parish websites.

Dagnall

A request for white lining to be installed on the corner of Nelson Road and Dunstable Road has been sent to Bucks CC. The Parish Council continues to liaise with Bucks CC as to the best way of safely opening up the footpath leading from the Recreation ground to Dunstable Road, with the possibility of installing roadside railings and a self closing gate at the end of the footpath.

Northall

Bucks CC are searching archives to establish whether or not the footpath across Northall Village Green is in the right place and Anglian Water has been contacted regarding the flooding which takes place in Chapel Lane.

Pot Holes

Bucks CC are constantly being pressured by the Parish Council to attend to the pot holes in all the villages. Parishioners are able to phone through their personal concerns to Transport for Buckinghamshire on phone number 0845 230 2882.
