Planning
As the government plans to build more and more houses in the South East, big planning decisions are being made locally all the time. It’s difficult to keep up with all the proposed developments and understand how they will affect us given their inevitable impact on infrastructure - especially roads, facilities including health, education and leisure. • The Vale of Aylesbury Local Plan (VALP) was published online on Friday 15 September: https://www.aylesburyvaledc.gov.uk/ section/vale-aylesbury-local-plan-valp • The result of the Inquiry into development at Halton Lane was also due to be published on 15 September but was not available when Wendover News went to press: https://www.aylesburyvaledc.gov. uk/search-planning-licensing-applications Go to planning applications, then appeals and enter reference 16/00068/NONDET • Green Park e-petition closing date 29 Sep: https://democracy.buckscc.gov.uk/ mgEPetitionDisplay.aspx?ID=3293 We all fear the loss of yet another local facility.
Bank Closures
Not only is the Wendover branch of Lloyds closing in October, but the Tring branch of Barclays is going, too. Until now, Wendover Post Office has not been able to accept business banking but Wendover Chamber of Trade and Commerce has checked that this service will be available in October. Change can only be given to business customers with a change card. Please contact Wendover Post Office for details. Personal customers can still access their banks as before at Wendover Post Office.
