Scams

∗ A hoax chain email warning of a parcel delivery scam is doing the rounds again.
This is a hoax message which has been wheeled out at Christmas in various forms for years.
It asks you to pass it on to your friends, family and neighbours.

The Police fraud outfit, ActionFraud is the UK’s national fraud and internet
crime reporting centre. It provides a central point of contact for information about fraud and financially
motivated internet crime (tel. 0300 123 2040). On www.actionfraud.police.uk, it gives the following advice

HS2 Campaign

 

The route of the proposed HS2 London to Birmingham passes close to the village.

 

Little Kingshill Village Society strongly opposed the construction of the high speed railway through the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

 

We continue to closely monitor the impact HS2 has on the Chilterns as the eight year construction period progresses and work with HS2 review groups in the AONB and in the Colne Valley with a view to reducing the disruption the railway will bring to local communities and the environment.

 

In addition we publish regular email updates on latest developments to keep communities informed.

 

Further information can be found from the Stop HS2 Campaign: Contacts: Penny Gaines, Chair & Social Media Director;

Enforcement of the Speed Limit

 

The speed limit of 30 miles per hour through the village is believed to be exceeded frequently, particularly on Windsor Lane

 

Little Kingshill Village Society supports measures to limit the speed, such as speed activated "Slow Down" signs

Pot Holes

 

Several of the roads through the village have an unacceptable level of pot holes, potentially hazardous, particularly to cyclists, and damaging to cars.

 

Little Kingshill Village Society lobbies the local council for improvements to the condition of our roads, however, the more reports that go in the better. Contact Transportfor Bucks: https://www.fixmystreet.buckscc.gov.uk to report a pot hole:.

Fly Tipping

 

Illegal dumping of both domestic and trade wastes around the countryside is a serious nusisance and cost to our community

 

Little Kingshill Village Society promotes awareness of this issue and recommends that any action of a suspicious nature is reported promptly to our community police and to Transport for Bucks https://www.fixmystreet.buckscc.gov.uk.
