SHIPTON INQUIRY RESUMES

The Public Inquiry into proposals to build 175 houses on land between Little Horwood Road and Shipton resumed in Aylesbury on Tuesday. Llew took time out from the local election campaign to attend the opening session and formally deliver the submission that  he’d prepared on behalf of the  Town Council which is opposed to the development.   The Inquiry is expected to conclude this evening (Wednesday) and the Inspector will then study the mountains of evidence which have been submitted and deliver his decsion sometime during the Summer.

How should our town grow?

Here’s your chance to have your say about future housing development in Winslow.

The Coalition Government is changing the method of planning for future growth so that communities get to have a far greater say in the level of new housing development.  Because of this Aylesbury Vale District Council is just starting to create a new long term development plan for the next twenty years which will reflect what local communities like Winslow say is reasonable.  If we assume that there will be approriate improvements to infrastructure (roads, schools, local employment. leisure and health facilities) what do YOU think would be acceptable?  Please complete my survey in the right hand panel of this page and if you want to give more detail write to me at llewmonger@btinternet.com .
