New Defibrillators
EPC can now confirm that thanks to donations from St Mary’s Village Carnival Committee and the Burghope Trust two new defibrillators have been installed in the Parish. This means that each village now has a defibrillator.
These are located at Edlesborough Memorial Hall in Edlesborough, The Red Lion PH in Dagnall and The Swan PH in Northall.
To access the unit please phone 999. You will be given the access code and the location of the box will be confirmed. The defibrillator is easy and safe to use.
Streetlights
If you notice a failed streetlight in Edlesborough, Dagnall and Northall please report this to the Clerk for repair. We are currently working hard to ensure all 143 streetlights are labelled with reporting information.
When making a report please ensure you are a specific as possible about the location.
Edlesborough Green Roundabout
At the time of writing this report the roundabout on Edlesborough Green is still currently out of use.
EPC have investigated and discussed both repair and replacement options at length and have agreed to further investigate giving the unit a major overhaul.
EPC understands that many children are disappointed that the unit is still unusable however this is due to health and safety implications.
EPC hope to rectify this situation as soon as possible.
Benches on Edlesborough Green
Many of the benches on Edlesborough Green are donated by relatives in memory of loved ones.
Anyone wishing to sponsor the refurbishment of an existing bench should contact the Clerk to discuss the matter.
Neighbourhood Plan
Work continues on the Neighbourhood Plan, this plan is vital to help protect the parish against opportunistic developments until 2033. AVDC are in the process of getting their overall local plan approved. In that plan they have laid out the housing numbers required of the towns and villages in the district. More information is available in a separate article in this edition of Focus.
White Lines & Speed Roundels
EPC continue to press TfB for the promised repainting of the road markings and replacement of the cats eyes at the junctions of Ivinghoe Way, Pebblemoor and the Leighton Road (A4146).
TfB have confirmed that a works order has been raised for the repainting of the 30mph roundels through Northall.
If you notice any other road markings in need of repainting please report those to Bucks CC (see the information at the start of this article).
Think Before You Park
Parking in the Parish continues to be an issue EPC ask all drivers to Think Before You Park
Ask yourself:
- Does my parking prevent any of the following using the pavement:
- A pedestrian
- A wheelchair
- A pushchair
- Does my parking block an emergency vehicles access?
- Does my parking damage the pavement or grass verge?
- Does my paring obstruct other road user’s view?
If the answer to any of these questions is YES please find somewhere else to park.
