Joint Statement
We are very aware of the of the many developments that do and will surround us, particularly Heathrow expansion, M4 smart motorway, Western Rail Access to Heathrow and those that add to the HGV load on our unsuitable local roads. Iver Station needs new car parking and we know that many parents want us to continue to try to bring a secondary school back to Iver. We are passionate about protecting our community from the impacts that these developments will create, be it noise from aircraft, HGVs on our residential roads or the resulting air pollution and that the disruption to residents is kept to a minimum. We have been instrumental in bring together all the various players to work in partnership to try to develop a realistic strategy for a relief road and are proud to say that this now forms part of the recently published Local Plan. It is imperative that we operate not only as individual councillors, but as a team, in order to achieve the best outcome for Iver building on what we have achieved as Councillors over the past 4 years.
The Buckinghamshire Council
With the change from a three- to a two-tier system of local government in Buckinghamshire, the councillors representing the Ivers will need high levels of commitment, determination, diplomacy and teamwork if our area is to have a clear and truly representative voice. Together we have the qualities needed to achieve that.
