Bovis Development - S106 agreementAssociated with any substantial development the developer is required to enterinto an S106 agreement. It defines the level of funding the developer must maketo council bodies to allow them to provide the infrastructure (extra school places,leisure facilities etc) to support the influx of population. It also defines theproportion and price of “affordable” houses in the development. - In this case35% of the total at 80% of market value. It also covers details of public spaces,play areas and design and construction constraints.
I calculate that the village will receive a sum of around £260000 for the provisionof sport and leisure facilities. I understand that the Parish council intend to usesome of the monies to purchase the freehold for the recreation ground and are indiscussion with other bodies in the village regarding the allocation of theremainder.
The agreement itself is a public document kindly supplied to me by CouncillorStutchbury If anyone would like a copy please let the editor know.

Chafor Wine Estate have just scooped the Food & Drink Producer of the Year Award, in theBerkshire and Buckinghamshire Life Food & Drink Awards 2015. The judge, Jo Fielderremarked: Tim Chafor, has planted a vineyard from scratch, taught himself everything he knowsand is the most dedicated producer I’ve met. He works 24/7 making sure that his grapesproduce the best possible wine and it is delicious. He does this sustainably, sells mainly into hislocality, hosts events for the locals and markets his product with provenance really well. Heeven has an alarm system on his phone which tells him if there is a frost approaching so he cango down to the vineyard at the dead of night and light 400 massive candles to warm the vines!

Tingewick WalkersThe November walk took place at Stoke Bruerne in Northamptonshire. Having parked atThe Navigation and ordered lunch, the walkers started out along the canal but quicklydiverged on to pavements. A decision had been made not to go the muddy route, so at thebeginning there was about a mile of roadwalking. This was not a problem as the trafficwas light and eventually a narrow countrylane was reached, which in turn led on toarable fields. Here the walking was easy andmuch speculation went on as to what wasbeing grown over the vast expanse of land.No conclusion was reached. The last part ofthe journey was back along the canal.Everyone enjoyed the pub lunch, with theirspecial offers of the day at £10 for two, whatbetter way to finish a healthy exercise?
PLEASE NOTE that the Walkers do not meet in December. Therefore the next meeting willbe on Tuesday, 26th January 2016, outside Tingewick Village Hall at 10.30 am. Anyone iswelcome to come along and join in the fun. If you need to know more, you can telephoneeither Peter on 01280 848739 or Sara on 01280 847594.
A brief history of TingewickThe population of the village has fluctuated over the years for various reasons. Records over theyears show – 1841 = 911, 1891 = 714, 1931 = 566, 1951 = 1,297, 1961 = 755, 1971 = 765. Therise in 1951 is accounted for with the inclusion of personnel at Grove Hill army camp and R.A.F.Finmere. The decrease in 1961 is due to the closure of R.A.F. Finmere. Numbers given includeLittle Tingewick.The number of properties has, of course, increased considerably over the years and with theadvent of the by-pass, Tingewick is now a very desirable place to live and properties have beenbuilt in numerous spaces all over the village. 1871 = 229 dwellings, 1971 = 300+ dwellings and2002 = 760.The by-pass cost £13.5million. It has 2 bridges, 1 underpass and has 7.3 miles of dualcarriageway. During the building, 500,000 cubic metres of earth were removed. Around 135,000cubic metres were transported to the A421 between Great Horwood and Whaddon crossroads tobe used to re-shape local land. The remaining earth went to licensed tips and was used to buildembankments and landscaped areas.When King George VI died, Princess Elizabeth became Queen and Buckingham Street residentsheld a meeting and decided to have a street party to celebrate the coronation . All householdspaid weekly to cover the costs. The date of the party was the 1st or 2nd Saturday in June 1953. Itwas a lovely day. All people that could, prepared the tables. Ladies were busy sandwich making and cakes were made. Before that, a Queen had been chosen. She and her attendants wereparaded along the street and back in her wooden chariot. There was singing and races for all thechildren. It was a very successful party.These articles were originally produced by the Historical Society. If they are of interest you mayfind their current activities are too. See page 15 for more.

Tingewick Neighbourhood Watch☺☺ CRIME CANNOT FLOURISH IN A COMMUNITY THAT CARES
Your monthly Neighbourhood Update is now available for your area. Use the linkbelow to find out about your Neighbourhood Policing team and view theNeighbourhood Update:-Buckingham North - http://www.thamesvalley.police.uk/yournh-tvp-pol-area-n415.htm
Elderly Targeted by Fake Police OfficersThere has been a recent series of incidents whereby fraudsters either phone or attend the home address ofelderly members of the public, claiming to be police officers.The fake officer/s will claim that they are investigating a fraud which they believe the elderly person to be avictim of. The fake officer/s will then request the bank cards and personal identification numbers (PIN) ofthe victim and claim these are needed for investigation purposes. If the first contact was made by a phonecall, the fake officer/s will tell the victim that someone will be over to collect the evidence. In one case thevictim was instructed to attend their local bank and withdraw all of the money from their account. Thesuspect was left alone in the victim’s house whilst the victim carried out the instructions.Protect Yourself - Before letting anyone into your home who claims to be from any law enforcementagency, ask to see their identity card and check it by calling 101. Ask if they can attend at a pre-arrangedtime when a family member or friend can also be present. If you receive a phone call from a police officer,ask for their name and force and tell them you will call them back. Wait a few minutes and then use 101 tocall them back through their force’s switchboard and verify their identity. The Police will never ask for yourPIN or passwords. Do not give this information to anyone. The Police will never request that youwithdraw/transfer any money to them.
Protect yourself from Bogus Electrical WebsitesFraudsters have set up a high specification website template advertising various electrical goods anddomestic appliances. These goods are below market value and do not exist. The fraudsters will request yourcard details via the website; however the purchaser will then receive an email stating the payment failed andthey must pay via bank transfer.The fraudsters entice the purchaser and reassure them it is a legitimate purchase by using the widelyrecognised Trusted Shop Trustmark. The fraudsters are using the Trustmark fraudulently and have not beencertified by Trusted Shops and therefore the purchaser is not covered by the Trusted Shop money-backguarantee.Protect yourself - Check the authenticity of the websites before making any purchases. Conduct a ‘who is’search on the website which will identify when the website has been created, be wary of newly formeddomains. You can conduct this search using the following website - https://who.is/Carry out online research in relation to the website, company name and the business address provided toidentify any poor feedback or possible irregularities. Check the Trusted Shops Facebook page wherewarnings about websites using their Trustmark are published. If you are in doubt about the legitimacy of aTrustmark then you can contact Trusted Shops on 0203 364 5906 or by email [email protected] will confirm whether they have certified that website.Payments made via bank transfer are not protected should you not recieved the item. Therefore always try tomake the payment via PayPal or a credit card where you have some payment cover should you not receiveyour product. If the item advertised seems too good to be true, then it probably is.
Restorative Justice available to victims of crime across Thames ValleyVictims in the Thames Valley are among the first in England to be able to routinely ask for the opportunityto open up communication with their offenders.The Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner (OPCC) has commissioned Thames Valley RestorativeJustice Service (TVRJS) to provide Victim-Initiated Restorative Justice (RJ) across Oxfordshire,Buckinghamshire and Berkshire.
Tingewick and District NewsIssue 253 - January 2016 13
International Restorative Justice Week was in December and the OPCC worked with TVRJS to promotethe service and raise awareness of the benefits of RJ. RJ is the process of bringing together those affectedby crime with those responsible, to help repair the harm and agree a positive way forward. The process canhelp empower victims by having their voice heard, as well as helping perpetrators to face up to theconsequences of their actions.The Victim-Initiated service gives victims the opportunity to request RJ themselves, during any stage ofthe criminal justice process, or even if they haven’t reported to the police.Victims who have taken part in RJ have said:“It has given me back the key to my life”“There is nothing now that I cannot face or conquer”“RJ helps you to face the problem you’ve feared”Anthony Stansfeld, Police and Crime Commissioner for Thames Valley said: 'RJ has proven to bring manybenefits in aiding the recovery of victims of crime, and I have heard firsthand from victims the impact ithas had in providing closure. I am delighted to be funding this service for the Thames Valley and to besupporting RJ Week.'For more information on the RJ process please visit the TVRJS website.
The Pub LunchReally delicious food, great value - and theopportunity to meet new friends - are all onoffer at the pub lunch.
The Christmas lunch was (as usual!) a veryspecial meal. Beautifully cooked turkey andpork and all the trimmings, Christmaspudding and crackers as we have come toexpect - but the roast chestnuts were anunexpected bonus.
As a thank you for all the great food we havehad all year Rosemary presented Sandra andTony with some thank you gifts.
Lunches are on the 3rd Tuesday of every month. The next pub lunchis on Tuesday the 19th January at 12:30. Home cooked ham, freshmashed potato and baked beans, or scampi chips and salad are onoffer. Ring Rosemary to book a meal on 848612. Please, pleasegive plenty of notice if you need to cancel. Rosemary will haveto charge you if you don’t turn up or give reasonable notice.

Pond NewsWell, a lot has happened since the last pond news. Firstly thoughwe’d like to thank several people, Mrs B for looking after us sowell this last couple of years or so and Anne her neighbour too!Nick who must have brought us nearly 20 bags of food in the pastfew months, we’d be very hungry ducks without him and Matildaof Main Street who looked after us for 2 weeks when our newKeeper Chris was away.As I said a lot has happened recently, Chris has been busy repairing, rebuilding and even refelting the roof on the pens so they’re ready for ducklings. He even found time for a fresh coatof paint on everything too. We must Thank Ed for donating the roofing felt as well.Unfortunately the Fox paid us a visit in October and we lost a small black duck but thankfullyeveryone else managed to keep clear.You’ve probably noticed how most evening we like to waddle across the road and root aroundon the grass, if you all could remind people driving down the near the pond that we’re not so“street wise” - in fact sometimes the road looks like a good place to have a rest! So pleasekeep an eye out for “resting” ducks around the roads near pond especially at dusk, we’ve hadsome near misses but luckily, recently no injuries from the road.We’ll try and be a bit more regular getting news to you all than we have been the last fewmonths, but if you need to know what’s going on take a look at our facebook pagewww.facebook.com/TingewickPondDucks and upload your pictures - we’re pretty vein andlove seeing pictures of ourselves!We hope you have a good Christmas and happy New Year from all us ducks down on thepond.Oh I almost forgot if you have any duck related problems or see anything let Chris know07960 232 090, he tells me he’s looking for helpers over Christmas and New Year to keep usfed. We have 2 already, but still a few days where we could be left hungry, if you have 30seconds in your day to feed us let Chris know.

Concern raised regarding the proposed development adjoining Field Close. There wereconcerns that the drainage was inadequate and there are traffic/ access issues that mayresult in a cap in the number of houses in the area following the development of FieldClose. The Parish Council has similar concerns regarding traffic, safety and access.Concern was also raised that the current infrastructure was insufficient, particularlytelecommunications/broadband. It was noted that it was unlikely that this is anenforceable requirement on a developer as it is the responsibility of the broadbandprovider however this can be raised in the consultation to the Vale Plan.It was asked whether there could be safety barrier at the end of the Gorrell Lane footpathshould the development proceed. This can be considered should the application moveforward.The Tree Preservation Orders on the various trees in the area of the proposeddevelopment will be respected by developers should the application proceed.
