NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH (NW)

Iver Police Office: We are open every Tuesday from 10 am – 12 noon and 2 pm - 4 pm. The sessions on Tuesday have become very busy, dealing with a variety of issues. We have become a drop-in for local residents to enquire about local issues and we do our best to get the issues addressed for them. For NW members we can offer the use of the photocopier and word processor. We are also setting up new NW schemes and helping existing schemes have any information they require. Volunteers required – please telephone 01753 650815 if interested.

FLY TIPPING

This is a serious problem in many areas. Responsibility for clearing up the tipping depends on where it is. If it is on the public highway, contact the County Council (0845 230 2882). Other public areas, including verges and lay-byes, are the responsibility of the South Bucks District Council (01895 837200). However, individual landowners must deal with tipping on private land except where certain hazardous waste is involved, in which case the District Council may be requested to deal with it.
Recently the Environment Agency took over the power to prosecute offenders in court, so please contact them on 01494 431331 (fax 01494 434175) as soon as you can after the incident. Any evidence such as time, exact place, details of vehicles etc would be welcomed. Even bar codes on rubbish have been used to track down culprits!

ABANDONED / UNWANTED VEHICLES

South Bucks District Council operate a free service for the disposal of unwanted vehicles. They are also the authority to report abandoned cars to. Telephone 01895 837200 and ask for the cleansing department.

 

HEAVY GOODS VEHICLES

Commercial vehicles weighing over 3.5 tonnes loaded are licensed to a particular operator and operating centre by Traffic Commissioners. The Parish Council has no right by law to object to most goods vehicle licence applications. Neighbours to a site may make representation to Traffic Commissioners if their enjoyment or use of their own land will be affected by, for example, noise, visual intrusion, vibration or fumes/pollution.

However, complaints can be made to Traffic Commissioners at any time by anyone on environmental or road safety grounds.
