Berryfields Parish Council

The Parish Council, formed in May 2015, was elected for a period of 4 years.  Our Councillors work to represent the interests of Berryfields Parish and its residents.  We meet on the third Wednesday of each month with the exception of August and December at 7.30pm in the Community Rooms.
The PC is gradually taking over play areas and amenity land in Berryfields which will ensure it is effectively managed and maintained in good condition for the benefit of all as well as some dog waste and litter bins.  These include Berryfields Green and Marston Brook at present.
Please get in touch if there is anything we can do to help - we are always delighted to hear from Parishioners, if we can't help we will put you in touch with the appropriate Authority or department.  

Current projects & plans

You told us you were concerned about speeding:

MVAS message

Berryfields and Watermead Parish Councils have purchased an MVAS (Mobile Vehicle Activated Sign) to record speeding drivers which will be placed in strategic sites in the villages.  ​

Volunteers operating Community Speedwatch

OUR SENTINEL SPEEDWATCH DEVICE HAS NOW ARRIVED. OUT FOR OUR VOLUNTEERS OPERATING THE DEVICE AND REPORTING SPEEDERS TO THE POLICE!​
VOLUNTEERS STILL NEEDED!


​Community Speedwatch is a scheme giving villages a hand held speeding device provided by the Police which a team of volunteers will operate in areas where speeds are excessive.  The device transmits data to the Police who will send a letter to first offenders, and follow up with a decision on prosecution after second and subsequent reports.  This is another valuable tool in the fight against speeding.

We hope that these initiatives will help us control speeding in the Parish. We have volunteers but if you would like to join the team please let us know.​

Events & volunteering

The Parish Council runs various events during the year, supporting other community events such as the Carol Service in December and Church Fete.
On 11th November 2018 we will be joining the national remembrance for Armistice Day, lighting our beacon at Roman Park to mark the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I.

Roman Park

Roman Park (beside Aylesbury Vale Parkway Station) is a large area of land which will be transferred to the Parish for use in perpetuity as public amenity land.

The Parish Council plans to create a park with a variety of facilities for all on this site, including a village hall and courtyard. Outline planning permission will be sought to allow us to obtain the necessary grant funding for the build.  This is a longer-term project but in the meantime it is planned to provide a BMX facility and play area as part of the developers' contribution to the Parish.  

Our appointed architects are drawing up vision plans for the Park and these will be shared with Parishioners as soon as they complete and approved by the Council.  At this stage you will be invited to comment and make suggestions.  

Allotments

The waiting list for allotments is now full.  The plots will be available to let in early 2018 and we will be contacting everyone to arrange to show the plots and hold the ballot for plots.  Please do not visit the site until the work is completed, some areas will be seeded and other preparation work is in hand.
