Save Barlow Road land, rebuild the park!!!

Aylesbury Vale District Council are selling the land on Barlow Road, whi

Sponsor: Leona Wheals

Starts: 29/01/13

Ends: 29/01/13

Current signature count: 482

Resolution:

Cabinet considered a report on the disposal of the former garage compound at Barlow Road, Wendover at its meeting on 12 March 2013. The full extent of the statement made in the petition was included in the Cabinet report. One of the petition organisers was present at the meeting and was invited to address Cabinet.

During consideration of this matter, Cabinet acknowledged that there were insufficient play facilities within reasonable walking distance of the Honeydene Estate, and whilst accepting that the Barlow Road site was not suitable for such use, Members asked officers to work with residents, the Parish Council and adjoining landowners to identify alternative options. Officers could provide professional support, particularly in relation to site negotiations. In addition, it might be possible to allocate some of the Section 106 funding provided through the Princess Mary Hospital development to support land acquisition or play area equipment procurement. Members were however of the view that this should not delay the sale and redevelopment of the Barlow Road site, which would secure a significant capital receipt for the Council.
 
Accordingly, having noted that a further report would be brought back to Cabinet at the conclusion of the investigations regarding alternative site options, Members
 
RESOLVED –
 
(1)  That the best offer received for the acquisition of the Barlow Road site for residential development purposes, as detailed in the confidential section of the report submitted, be accepted and the Head of Legal and Estates, after consultation with the Cabinet Member for Economic Development, be authorised to agree the final sale terms and the necessary legal documentation.
 
(2) That officers be authorised to support Wendover Parish Council and any appropriate residential body in seeking to identify, procure and fit out an alternative suitable play facility for the residents of the Honeydene Estate.
 

CAR PARKING PROBLEMS AT WHITEHILL SURGERY

Petition re. Car Parking Problems at Whitehill Surgery

Sponsor: Mrs Rose Arrowsmith

Starts: 11/04/12

Ends: 10/07/12

Current signature count: 428

Resolution:

The Head of Administration wrote to the petition organiser on 17 July 2012 to inform her:-

"That following the opening of the e-petition, Council Officers met with a representative from Aylesbury Vale Estates on 25 April 2012 to discuss her concerns and future action that might be taken to assist with resolving the problem. It was agreed that the only effective solution would be to create a Traffic Order Zone in the immediate vicinity of the Whitehill Surgery. This would allow the lining of parking bays, double yellow lining of the park entrance roadway, pay and display permit machines and full warden supervision and enforcement, backed up by legal sanctions.

In order to put the above arrangements in place, AVDC would need to acquire a legal interest in the car park, which could be done by a rent-free sub-letting from the Whitehill Surgery to the Council, with the approval of Aylesbury Vale Estates. Further discussion had affirmed that it would be possible for this arrangement to be put in place.  AVDC’s Leisure Services had indicated their approval of the TOZ proposal, as it would remove illicit parking on the roadway and surrounding parkland in the vicinity of the Whitehill Surgery.

Unfortunately, however, putting the formal Traffic Order Zone in place would cost in the region of £2,500 to set up, which would need to be paid for by the Whitehill Surgery.  Should the Surgery wish the Council to proceed with a formal TOZ they were asked to contact AVDC's Estates Surveyor) who would be happy to assist."
