Urban Devolved Services

  • On 1st April 2016 Hughenden Parish Council and Buckinghamshire County Council entered into an ‘Urban Devolved Services Agreement’.  The parish council receives funding of just over £11,000 per annum (2016 – 2022) to carry out this service.
  • The parish council contribute to this funding from the Parish Precept to increase the annual devolved services budget to £18,000.  This sum covers:
  • grass verge cutting (usually 6 cuts per year/weather dependant) within 30 mph areas and
    some 40 mph areas (e.g.’ wide grass verge at Warrendene Road)
  • siding out of footpaths
  • weed control and spraying
  • cutting back of Council managed hedges overhanging footpaths and serving formal notice
    letters to private landowners
  • cutting back vegetation around street signs and furniture
  • washing street signs and furniture
  • maintenance of street signs and furniture (e.g. village entry gates)
  • granting permission for charity event signage
  • removal of unauthorised charity event signage and fly posters
  • clearance of Rights of Way surfaces
  • Please note that the section of Valley Road from the bottom of Cryers Hill to High Wycombe (40 & 50 mph zone) remains the responsibility of Buckinghamshire County Council as does the section of Coombe Lane (40 mph zone) between Hughenden Valley and Naphill.
