PARISH COUNCIL NEWS FROM THE JULY 2024 MEETING
SPEEDWATCH – Volunteers took part in community speedwatch on the 21st June and one driver was reported for exceeding the speed limit and reported to Thames Valley Police. The same driver was found to have no Mot or road tax. Three further volunteers have come forward to join the team. Thank you to those volunteers taking part in the deployments.
DOUBLE YELLOW LINES IN OLNEY ROAD AND HIGH STREET – The parish council has recently received an amended proposal for the double yellow lines outside the Bell and Bear for the extension of the double yellow lines around the bend into Olney Road. The parish council has requested the removal of the double yellow lines outside the Bell and Bear including those across the access to the rear. A request for double yellow lines on both sides of the entrance to Gravel Walk has also been put forward. Consultation for residents on the proposals will follow in due course.
NEW CITY PLAN - From 17 July Milton Keynes City Council are inviting local people and organisations to give feedback about the draft MK City Plan 2050 as part of a 12-week consultation.
Local authorities such as Milton Keynes City Council must set out plans to provide more homes. The aim is to get the right type of development in the right places to meet the growing needs of local people and businesses, while protecting green spaces and rural areas.
The consultation documents are on the website: www.milton-keynes.gov.uk/city-plan
Alternatively, copies of the response form, draft MK City Plan 2050, policies maps and Topic Papers are all available in the Central Library at 555 Silbury Boulevard, as well as other public libraries across Milton Keynes (www.milton-keynes.gov.uk/libraries/library-info/library-hours).
