Parking can be an issue throughout the Parish. To report problem parking on double yellow lines go to FixMyStreet.
Parking a vehicle on the pavement could lead to an offence of obstruction being committed. This could result in a fixed penalty notice being issued to offending vehicles. It can also cause danger/nuisance for pedestrians and wheelchairs users.To report such incidences on roads without any parking restrictions (yellow lines) to the police please call 101 or report online .
The Parish Council has been using MVAS (Moveable Vehicle Activated Signs) equipment to record volumes and speeds of traffic at suitable sites throughout the Parish. Analysis of this data has been shared with Buckinghamshire Council and Thames Valley Police (TVP) in support of requests for further traffic calming measures throughout the Parish. The Parish Council are currently working with TVP and Community Speedwatch. Drivers caught speeding by Speedwatch can be identified and may be contacted by Thames Valley Police.
Buckinghamshire Council are currently working the proposal of introducing a 7.5tonne HGV Zone for Ivinghoe. This will hopefully reduce the number of HGV’s passing through the village. This has now been implemented and is currently being reviewed.
Speeding vehicles is a perennial problem throughout the parish. We have successfully petitioned to Thames Valley Police for the regular visit of the Police Camera Van to Great Gap and Ivinghoe Aston. We are also working on a potential solution to combat speeding vehicles in Ivinghoe Aston and also along Station Road/Horton Road in Ivinghoe, Ford End and Great Gap. Over the last year we have been monitoring traffic speeds in the village and the data has now been processed to give a clear view of what is happening.
