Lower Road and Surrounding Roads Parking Issues

What about lobbying for a stop on the new HS2 line where it cuts over the M25 - I read a lot on Twitter about how full the local trains are, you'll get a massive new car park (either underground or covering the M25 GX tesco style) there and house prices will go up.  Then make the Chalfont Road currently closed wider and put shuttle buses in? Everyone wins... No? ok...

I've just left Church Lane Car Park and there are only 11 spaces free in there including the one I've just vacated, none in Co-op, two in the Precinct.

I drove around the Church Lane car park looking for a space the day M&S opened and couldn't get one, I accept when you went through there were spaces but when I went through there weren't, so please don't make me out to be a liar because I am absolutely not and have no reason to lie or exaggerate. And 13 spaces free in the whole village centre at 10.45am isn't enough IMHO. There are other posts on facebook by people saying they've been in there when it's nearly full too so maybe it depends on the time of day or whatever is going on at the church.

If you had been at the meeting then you would have heard the explanation of why it takes so long although I totally agree with you that to take so long is absolutely unacceptable and very difficult to understand. It's kind of irrelevant what happens in Slough, it's in Berkshire and it's a totally different council although I take your point that if they can move things quicker why can't we? If you have experience in pushing through these kinds of parking restrictions even in a differing authority maybe you could approach the NAG or the parking manager Mark Davies at chiltern and offer them some advise and assistance?

Yes the NAG have approached the offices, The COC have approached the offices, I have the details of the HR manager from RWS as I have approached them several times myself to suggest solutions and to complain about some individuals parking. I understand so have other residents and local organisations. There are lots of people in the village who are working really hard to resolve this problem and have done hours and hours of research and studies.

As for people being ostriches I'd say judging by this thread people are far from that, they are looking for solutions where they can, maybe the only answer will be to move the allotments eventually and use it for parking but if it can be avoided then that would be brilliant as you say we have already given so much in the name of development.

Talking of the real ostriches.....My question one again is, we have 3 parish councillors on the CDC Planning Committee and another parish councillor who is also head of CDC. I believe we have some of them posting on this forum from behind pseudonyms (not counting Dickybird who is very up front about who she is), how did they let this happen?

CDC is being scrapped isn't it? Power shifted to Bucks CC and locally? Off topic.

Yes Watsy they are being 'unified' I believe.....
