Despite the long recession and the slow recovery, Aylesbury Vale continues to progress. Work is due to begin in the summer on the Berryfields housing development to the north west of Aylesbury, and plans are being submitted for the final phase of the successful housing development at Weedon Hill.
The recession has affected our housing delivery target, but not as severely as other areas of the country, reflecting the underlying attraction of the Vale. Further phases of development are continuing at Stoke Mandeville Hospital and the former Princess Mary hospital site in Wendover.
That will be followed by the next generation of growth sites that have recently been debated at the local development framework inquiry.
The town centre redevelopment continues apace, and the stunning new Waterside Theatre opens in the autumn with a series of sparkling productions.
We continue to play a key role in helping deliver transport improvements in the Vale, and to plan the transport infrastructure required for future developments. On a practical level we are happy to have been able to play a part in delivering new lifts at Aylesbury Station – a facility that will be particularly appreciated when athletes from around the world arrive for the Paralympics Games events being held at Stoke Mandeville in 2012.
