As part of the consultation two public exhibition events were held at Taplow and Burnham, which drew 40 residents, and an online survey questionnaire received 170 responses.<br>Mark said: 'We need to take another look at the overall proposals, at the side road junction arrangements and at the proposed lighting.'<br>He said that once the project team had re-evaluated the scheme detail, they would cost any amends and prepare a report for him to take a decision in due course. <br>The cost for the scheme is being met from a £1.5 million Government Local Growth Fund grant, through Buckinghamshire Thames Valley Local Enterprise Partnership, and developer contributions of £190,000.<br>When completed the scheme will strengthen public transport links ahead of the start of Crossrail trains in 2019, and provide Wi-Fi and real-time passenger information at selected bus stops.<br>It will create connections between Taplow Station, Mill Lane housing estate, the Bishop Centre and Slough. It will also provide links to cycle routes in the area, such as the National Cycle Network Route 61.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='color:black'>Attached is a note of the Christmas services at St Nicolas church.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal>As you are aware, Christmas is fast approaching us which means Taplow's annual <span style='font-size:13.5pt;color:#FF2600'>'Carols on the Village Green'</span> are too! <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The Carols will take place on Thursday the<span style='font-size:13.5pt'> <span style='color:#009051'>22nd of December at 6pm</span></span>.
