Ashford Council.
The Highways Unit has a positive effect on the quality of life for all whom live, work
and visit the Borough. Increased traffic threatens people’s quality of life because of
the increased noise, fumes, vibrations and risk of crashes. It can weaken community
life by dividing areas leading to social exclusion and can threaten commercial vitality.
The Council’s Corporate Plan sets out a clear mission to ‘protect and improve the
quality of life of every resident of the Borough, now and in the future’. Closely linked
to this mission is a clear set of core aims to protect and improve the local
environment. One of the ways we are achieving a better environment is through the
Boroughs’ Traffic Management Investigation Programme for Rural Areas.

Rural North Bucks area strategy

This is particularly so in Rural North Bucks where to date over 20% of parishes are indicating a wish to jointly explore possible traffic calming with the County Council. It is clear that the principal perceived problems are speeding and ‘rat-running’ with their consequences for safety and the local environment.
