The next PARISH COUNCIL meeting is on Tuesday 12th January 2021. Meetings of the Parish Council will now be held via Zoom during the pandemic.
The Parish Council met Greg Smith, our recently elected MP for Buckingham on 6th March.
Greg readily agreed to the request for our meeting and reiterated that he is available to support our causes and challenges as they arise. Specifically we raised a number of locally focused issues including: 1. East West Expressway. Greg had spoken directly with the Minister for Transport and was very confident this would NOT be going ahead. This will be formally communicated in due course. Clearly a great outcome. 2. HS2 is now happening but Greg is keen to make sure that the impacts are mitigated as best as possible eg construction traffic impact. He is fighting this corner across his constituency and will be very vocal.Usefully he sits on the Transport Select Committee. We can expect a local visit from the Minister for HS2 in due course too and Greg will ensure our voice is heard. 3. Greg is supportive of East West Rail and through his contacts in government is pushing this along for all our benefit. 4. He was very sympathetic to our speeding traffic challenges and offered some practical advice on how best to tackle which we will be taking into account. 5. Greg shared a perspective on the new Unitary Authority. We will all have to see how this plays out but again he will represent us on issues should we request this. 6. Planning is a major issue across the Vale and Greg is outspoken in his support of managing new housing growth. Specifically we briefed him on the Stone View application and he was supportive in our opposition to development and will assist in anyway he can. Overall a very practical and useful meeting . Oving is now clearly established in his mind and we have a relationship we can call on for the benefit of the Oving Community. Ambrose McGinn Chair OPC |

OVING ROAD SAFETY GROUP
The Mobile Vehicle Activated Sign (MVAS) is now fully operational in Oving and is moved around the village so that we can see where speeding is a problem. The Sentinel Speed camera is then used by volunteers, with mobile patrols in the relevant areas.
The Sentinel camera records speed and vehicle details which are transmitted to the Police. Speeders will receive a letter from the Police and/or a visit from a Police Officer in cases of excessive speed or dangerous driving.
The statistics for May are shown below.
