		+	'''Hallmark March 2025'''. By Shade Adoh and Robert Carington
		+
		+	We continue to encourage community groups to participate in the North West Chilterns Community Board and take advantage of the available funds to carry out projects, especially as from May it will be reformed to match the overall local Buckinghamshire Council ward boundary changes which will take effect at the election.
		+
		+	'''The Council has launched a comprehensive ‘All-Age Carers Strategy’''' – aimed at making life easier for everyone who provides regular unpaid care and support to another person in Bucks. The strategy has been co-produced by the council, alongside health partners and representatives across social care and the voluntary and community sector. It sets out the joint commitment to carers of all ages in Buckinghamshire, to ensure they are valued and supported.
		+
		+	The new strategy details how the council and its partners will continue to develop and deliver meaningful support to unpaid carers, to enable carers to maintain a positive quality of life alongside their caring role.
		+
		+	Key highlights of the new strategy are:
		+
		+	• Identification of carers: with more organisations recognising unpaid carers, understanding their needs and signposting to support.
		+
		+	• Partnership collaboration: working together to better support carers across the system and sharing information across organisations.
		+
		+	• Health and wellbeing support: empowering carers to access support and keep themselves healthy.
		+
		+	• Access to information and guidance: with improved digital information and wider reach enabling more people to access services.
		+
		+	• Community engagement: strengthening community networks to foster a supportive environment for carers, including across employers and education settings.
		+
		+	The Carers Strategy is set to be implemented over the next five years, with regular reviews to ensure its effectiveness and adaptability to the evolving needs of carers.
		+
		+	'''A Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan (LCWIP) for Buckinghamshire''', which will guide future investment in active travel infrastructure across the county, has been adopted by the Council.
		+
		+	Buckinghamshire has been awarded more than £2 million by Active Travel England to spend on developing further active travel projects and infrastructure in the county.
		+
		+	The Buckinghamshire LCWIP proposes a network of ‘corridors’ suitable for cycling, walking and ‘wheeling’ (adapted cycles, wheelchairs, mobility scooters, prams and push scooters), to connect towns and villages. The LCWIP has considered different journey destinations, including employment, education, public transport, local facilities and visitor attractions.
		+
		+	Following approval of the LCWIP by Cabinet, the Council will continue to undertake further work to establish how these ‘corridors’ could be created, including local engagement, design work and seeking external funding – which is essential to progress these schemes.
		+
		+	The LCWIP ‘corridors’ may include new or improved off-road routes, routes alongside roads or crossing points.
		+
		+	'''In recognition of Random Act of Kindness Day (17 February 2025),''' we're asking Buckinghamshire residents ‘which good cause will benefit from your random act of kindness?’ There are already over 1,500 active players across Buckinghamshire who helped raise nearly £94,000 last year for local good causes – and we'd like to see even more!
		+
		+	The Lottery supports over 380 good causes in the county to raise invaluable funds. By purchasing a ticket for just £1 per week, players not only have the opportunity to win cash prizes including the weekly £25,000 jackpot, but 60p of every ticket sale goes directly towards supporting local good causes. From animal charities, scout groups, charities providing support for health issues like cancer, mental health and Alzheimer’s, local food banks, sport clubs and youth projects – there’s a good cause close to everybody's heart.
		+
		+	Please consider registering with Buckinghamshire Lottery to kick start your fundraising and make a positive impact to the community (and you could potentially win big yourselves) by purchasing tickets. Good causes can register, and players can sign up at buckinghamshirelottery.co.uk

	Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a peaceful Happy New Year 2023.		Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a peaceful Happy New Year 2023.

		+	'''Hallmark August 2023'''. We are grateful for the support from our residents and for them reaching out to us for advice and solutions to problems and concerns.
		+
		+	We continue to encourage community groups to participate in the North West Chilterns Community Board and take advantage of the available funds to carry out projects.
		+
		+	'''Proud of Bucks Award.''' Mr Leigh Axe (resident of Lacey Green) was nominated for a Proud of Bucks Award in the category of Local Community Champion. Although he was not the winner, he was highly commended for working tirelessly for the older and younger members of the community in Lacey Green.
		+
		+	'''Traffic calming.''' The petition on traffic calming measures in Lacey Green, in particular the stretch of New Road from Walters Ash to Lacey Green and Main Road around St John’s School, ran until the 11<sup>th</sup> May. This has garnered a great deal of public interest in the form of 330 signatures.
		+
		+	We support the main aims of the petition to continue the 40MPH speed limit from RAF High Wycombe on New Road to Lacey Green, with the 30 MPH pushed further along New Road towards Walters Ash to enable vehicles to safely slow before the bend. We also support the call for a zebra crossing being installed to connect the church to School to make it safer for children during school hours. This report while originally due for consideration at the Community Board meeting on the 27th July will now, due to technical reasons, be considered in a separate meeting in September.
		+
		+	'''Action on potholes.''' Bucks Council are focused on tackling the increased number of potholes and road defects this year, caused by the very wet and cold winter. The team have reached the milestone of completing 10,000 repairs since the new Buckinghamshire Highways contract began on 1 April. This is on top of the annual re-surfacing programme. Since 1st April, there have been 12,700 pothole repairs carried out by 15 teams and over 30 plane and patch programmes. In addition, there have been over 21,000 drains and gullies cleaned since 1st April and over 1,200 street lights repaired.
		+
		+	The Council fix the most urgent repairs first and with the warmer weather will be able to fix more potholes permanently first time, instead of needing to make temporary repairs and return later. Added to this, a new time-saving three-in-one Pothole Pro machine is enabling crews to make more efficient reactive repairs across the county. The extended plane and patch programme has begun in earnest, along with planning for the surface dressing, micro surfacing and major re-surfacing programmes that began in June.
		+
		+	The annual planned wider maintenance and improvements programme is well under way too — and in fact the Council are accelerating this work to address the condition of our roads sooner. Please continue to report any issues through www.buckinghamshire.gov.uk/FixMyStreet
		+
		+	'''Annual canvas.''' This month, the Council's Electoral Services team will be sending either a letter or an email to all households in Buckinghamshire as part of the annual canvass, asking residents to check their electoral registration details are correct to make sure they retain their right to vote in future elections.
		+
		+	The team will also be using this opportunity to raise awareness of the new requirement for voters to provide a form of acceptable photo ID at polling stations. More information on this can be found on the council website.
		+
		+	'''Surgery dates.''' The team hold regular surgeries across the ward to hear from residents directly. You don’t have to book an appointment to attend, however, if you would like to talk privately you can contact the team on team@ridgewaywest.uk Surgery dates for the year are below, running from
