Cllr Geary reported on the following:<\/p>\n

WASTE STRATEGY<\/strong><\/p>\n

Has gone through and there will be no \u00a333 charge for green bins, also the tip in Newport Pagnell will remain open in the short term.<\/p>\n

MINERALS LOCAL PLAN<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is now been agreed by the Council therefore the main issue people will be seeing is the planning application along Northampton Road that may affect Sherington. The facility for the sifting of the minerals could potentially be closest to Sherington. The traffic route for minerals leaving the site will cause traffic problems by Sherington Bridge and the Chicheley Hill area. Cllr Geary added that policies on bunding and set back distances had been taken out. Cllr Bush asked about noise and dust which Cllr Geary mentioned that should not be a problem.<\/p>\n

Cllr Geary added that Richard Crook sadly passed away recently.<\/td>\n

11. EXTERNAL MEETINGS<\/strong><\/td>\n\u00a0<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Cllr Shaw attended a meeting to discuss the East West Expressway and reported the following:<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not a motorway – a few, well-placed junctions and two lanes as per the A5 running through Milton Keynes supplemented with lots of \u2018smart\u2019 signage and variable speed limits as per the current 4 lane smart motorway sections of the M1. To date very high level feasibility studies have been carried out to ascertain whether there is an economic case to improve the road connectivity between Oxford and Cambridge, alongside the proposed rail link. The broad answer is yes there is an economic case, which will also not harm the east-west rail link.\u00a0 At a very high level, the route will connect the M40 at Oxford with the M11 at Cambridge via the A34, A421 and A428. It will intersect the M1 at Milton Keynes junction 13 and also intersect HS2<\/p>\n

A large section of new road is required between the A34 and A421 to reliably connect Oxford to Milton Keynes. Three routes for this new section are presently on the table but may change:<\/p>\n

Option A: Oxford \u2014> Buckingham\u2014>West MK Option<\/p>\n

B: Oxford\u2014> Line of East-West Rail link\u2014>South MK Option<\/p>\n

C: Oxford\u2014>Aylesbury\u2014>South-east MK<\/p>\n

The current view of Highways England is that \ufb01xed route options will go to public consultation in 2019 for a project completion in 2025-2030. Existing sections of the A34, A421 and A428 will be upgraded to expressway quality.<\/p>\n

At present, the government have only pledged \u00a327M to support the research and development of the idea. The cost of works is estimated to be in the region of \u00a35-6bn and will represent one of the largest new road builds for 40 years.<\/p>\n

Additional bene\ufb01ts? Two new business parks en route from Oxford to Cambridge and redirection of a substantial volume of tra\ufb03c from the M5, M11 and A14 will economic bene\ufb01ts to surrounding areas – although the increased tra\ufb03c fallout, especially as the route skirts the south\/south-east edge of Milton Keynes, is naturally of great concern to local councillors in these areas. The route must also integrate with Plan:mk\u2019s vision for the south\/south-west of Milton Keynes and Bletchley. It was highlighted that the Ipswich to Bristol freight route would heavily utilise this route.<\/p>\n

Cllr Thatcher attend the Parish Forum and there was mention of setting the precept for over 3 years. Cllr Thatcher also attended Speed Watch.<\/td>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
12. CONSIDER CORRESPONDENCE AND NEW CONSULTATIONS <\/strong><\/td>\n\u00a0<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\u00a0Cllr Bush asked for an update on the gates going into the village to prevent speeding, Cllr Johnstone advised that he had received a quote for \u00a3400.<\/td>\n\u00a0<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
13. RECEIVE PUBLIC COMMENTS<\/strong><\/td>\n\u00a0<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
1 member of public mentioned that there was a planning application for her property on Water Lane, just making the Parish aware.<\/p>\n

A member of public asked the Parish if they knew why the Arco barriers had been put in along the bypass.\u00a0 Cllr Bush commented that this was highways at MKC and Cllr Geary advised the best person to ask was Tom Blackburne-Maze.\u00a0 TY to contact.<\/p>\n

The cars parked along Perry Lane causing damage to the road and paths was also mentioned along with overhanging hedgerows and vegetation. Cllr Geary suggested knocking on resident doors and asking them to attend to their vegetation.<\/td>\n
