ICKFORD NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN CONSULTATION REPORT : VISION FOR ICKFORD 29

19 Bridges. Roads. Buses. Parking. Drains. Flooding. This village may have
space for homes but no roads, recreational space. Our children need
green space for healthy life not more pollution and buildings.
STRONGLY OPPOSE– KEEP OUR VILLAGE!
20 Improved bus service, widening and resurfacing of roads towards
Thame, Tiddington. New and improved footpaths, cycle routes –
these to be kept clear and not overgrown.
21 If Turnfields goes ahead traffic management must be improved and
issues over surface water.
22 Improve quality of roads in, through and out of the village. Sufficient
parking in the development to prevent parking on road verges.
Improved drainage – scheme to slowly release water/sewerage
impractical – better clearance of water needed out of the village.
23 Better management of traffic through the village. Maintenance of
pathways and verges.
24 Surface water drainage. Upgrade the sewerage system to prevent
overflows of raw effluent into the roads and streams.
25 Drainage. Sewerage. Power supply. Roads.
26 Sewerage system. Surface water drainage. Road conditions.
27 Foul drainage capacity improved. School size. Improve surface water
drainage. Review of twin bridges road.
28 New drainage system. Better parking arrangements around the school
and village shop. Better signage and restrictions for heavy vehicles
using bridges.
29 Better public transport/nature reserve.
30 More off road parking especially for school drop-off and pick up on
Sheldon Road.
31 A bypass around the village.
32 Better, more professionally run shop with a wider range of goods and
longer opening hours. Fewer children brought into the village to
school from outlying area by car each day. Too many cars parked by
the school.
33 The village could probably cope with development of Turnfields,
depending on extra resources for the school and a better bus service.
The other sites would require major extra resources for the school
and shop which would be unlikely to ever happen.
34 Turnfields and 42 Worminghall Road developments will increase
traffic into and around the area – another access in would affect less
people. No matter what happens now, within the next 10 years we
will need more housing – so it would be better to look long term
NOW. The easy development is Turnfields, but once this has been
accepted, then all the fields North of it (i.e. Pound Ground and
Worminghall Road) will likely gain permission. Why not make the
developers put any access in from the main Ickford Road which will
have less of a traffic impact on the village? Once the Turnfields
development goes ahead, all the extra traffic will then have to come
through the village.
35 Ditches to be cleared out
