Manor Waste/Illegal Parking
Superhome
The bollards around the Manor Waste are to stop parking on a pedestrian area. They are removed for particular events, the Weekly Market, Local Produce and Charity Markets etc.,
Bob and Judy Lewis were awarded Superhome status earlier this year and hosted an open day on Sunday 17 March. Their house is the 155th nationally, the 5th in Bucks and the 1st in Wendover. Their Carbon Reduction editor@wendovernews.co.uk (at 72%) is the highest so far in Bucks.

Their Carbon Reduction (at the door to many local households. If you do not receive one at home and 72%) is the highest so far in Bucks. would like to volunteer to deliver for us Bob said, “I do not feel that we have to your road, please contact the office done anything exceptional, but (see above). Wendover News would like we have steadily worked at it to thank all our willing volunteers. over our 42 years in the house”.
Drivers take advantage of the bollards being removed and park where people walk leading to an incident which could have had serious consequences. Please act responsibly and do NOT use the Manor Waste as a car park, it is where people walk. We had a near miss this time, next time it could be a child.

This document purports to show what the impact on Wendover and surrounding area will be in a number of environmental areas, such as hydrology, noise and so on. In addition to detailing the environmental impacts it should also discuss the alternatives considered (such as a tunnel) and what mitigation it is being proposed to put in place. Following publication of these documents by HS2 Ltd they will be having a public consultation currently planned for 29 June, 2013 at the Memorial Hall. There is a large number of documents (10 books) as well as maps and plans. It is only ‘interim’ as a full environmental and ecological impact analysis takes a long time and covers all seasons of the year. It is important that you have the opportunity to see what the potential impacts on Wendover could be. This will set out in sufficient detail what they are proposing to put into the Hybrid Bill. A copy will be in Wendover Library for your review. Have a look at it and come to the public meeting on Saturday 22 June.

John
Bonjour To Their French Friends
This is the first French Exchange to take place in four years. A minimum number of students is needed to make the French Exchange viable. John Colet Languages department were so keen for their students to take part in the experience, that is was arranged to pair with The Misbourne School in order to reach the required number. Last November these students spent a week in Liffré, Wendover’s twin town. On each exchange, students spent six nights away, and were totally immersed in each other’s culture. This proved to be an invaluable and unforgettable learning experience, and one the students thoroughly enjoyed. Liv Finch Fox, a year 10 John Colet student, welcomed Aëlle into her home and they both had a great time. Liv said: “Many people are of the opinion that exchange visits are a thing of the past, I’m so pleased our school continues to run these popular and rewarding trips. Spending time with a pupil, and their family, is a way of allowing you to improve your language skills and experience another culture. As a result of my exchange I have improved my French and made a friend for life.” Aëlle was equally pleased with her experience, saying: “I love my family exchange and England. It’s a dream.” Isabelle Simpson, Head of Modern Foreign Languages, commented: “The exchange partnerships got on very well. It was great to see our students making so much progress in French and making such strong links with their partners. We look forward to running the trip again next year and giving other students the chance to be part of such a memorable experience.”

Whitewaters Rings the Changes
Helping Wendover’s young chefs
As many of you will have seen there have been changes afoot at Whitewaters! The inside space has been brightened up, opened out and the floor levelled allowing for more comfortable seating. This has meant the hard decision had to be taken of no longer stocking the range of cheese and meats and certain other deli produce. “We simply do not have the space to do it all and we were constantly hearing we needed more seats” says the owner, Lib Charlesworth. “Also, the market cheese stall outside the shop every Thursday was impacting our sales. Not having our overheads, their cheese can be significantly cheaper and we understand that is attractive to many shoppers.
When Wendover Church of England Junior School needed help to purchase equipment for the school’s cookery classes, local mum Jo Richardson, whose daughter is a pupil, asked Harpenden Building Society if they could step in. Jo works at their Wendover branch and the building society, which is celebrating its sixtieth anniversary this year, was happy to fund the items.
However, we will still be stocking Kings Farm ham and eggs, Seggiano, Cherry Tree, Olives et al dressings and the Lancashire Bombs and using the same cheeses for our platters and sandwiches. This continued relationship with our brilliant cheese supplier means we will still be able to take Christmas orders. Similarly, the drunken cakes will return then too.” This move allows Whitewaters to focus on their Monmouth coffee, increase the range of lunch options and continue to make those delicious Bakeaway pizzas so why not pop along and take a look?!

On Friday 10 May, Gill Pearce from the Society (pictured) visited the school to see how the children were getting on with the mixing bowls, wooden spoons and rolling pins.

Mid Bucks Beekeepers Association The interim results from our colony loss survey indicate that 35% of members’ colonies did not make it through the winter. This bucks the trend of reduced losses over the last 2 years. The main reasons seem to have been the poor summer last year and the prolonged cold spell in March. The continued cold prevailing winds in May delayed the expansion of many colonies, reducing the prospect of a Spring harvest. Following on from our Queen Rearing meeting in May, this month’s meeting will be themed on New Queen Introduction to a Colony. The meeting

County Council Elections have come and gone. The UKIP candidate Chris Adams won and I came second. Thanks to all those who supported me. I hope I can take that support as a personal endorsement for standing as an Independent and the reasons for it. I feel electors wished to send a national message to all the major parties that lies, obfuscations about HS2 and confused political thinking need to stop. They succeeded. It is unfortunate, but understandable, that a local election with its own issues and concerns was the only way they could send that message.
I congratulate Chris, who I trust will work hard 01296 696860 to give the people of Wendover, Halton and 1 Town Court, High St Wendover Bucks, HP22 6EA Stoke Mandeville the representation they Chris Richards Cornelli.sugarcraft@tiscali.co.uk expect and deserve.
May I, through Wendover News, thank all of the people who voted for me at the recent Bucks County Council elections. I and the Green Party, under whose banner I stood, were very pleased with the result especially considering we only started organising a week or two before the election and that we had no money at all for any campaigning. It was a pleasure to give the Green Party supporters in our electoral ward the opportunity of voting for their choice of representative. Watch this space, the Green Party is planning to start up a Vale of Aylesbury local group and to become much more active and visible locally. On another topic, as readers may know, I am associated with the SOBS, the charity run by and for people bereaved by suicide. To date, the nearest local group meeting has been in Beaconsfield on the second Monday morning of the month. Starting from June, a new group is starting up in Aylesbury. I will be leading it and we will meet on the second Tuesday of the month, in the evening. The helpline of the national charity remains the same – 0844 561 6855. The contact number for the Beaconsfield group is now 0795 843 4082 and that for Aylesbury is 07890 973 751. Sobs can also be found on the Internet at www.uk-sobs.org.uk Sue Hetherington

Litter I have been proud to live in such a lovely place as Wendover for 4 years. However on the way to the railway station today (Saturday 11 May) I was sad to see so much litter in the hedges and along the bank; even a whole carrier bag of empty beer cans had been thrown over the fence. Surely we are not the only ones to have seen this? It is such a shame that walkers who travel to our village to enjoy the beauty of the Chilterns arrive off the train and find this as the sight that greets them. Why has all this litter just grown and grown? The poor flowers don't stand a chance! Please Wendover Parish Council, HELP! Carol Elligott

Michael Goody

Sidney Michael Goody passed away at his home in Nightingale Road, Wendover, on the 16 March aged 68 after suffering from several years of ill health. Known in Wendover as Michael, he was born on 3 May 1944 in Perfelly, Wales. Michael’s childhood years were spent in Halton where his father was based in the RAF. He had a paper round and spent many hours wandering through Wendover Woods as a lad. Michael followed in his father’s footsteps, and enrolled as a Boy entrant in to the RAF at Hereford when he was about 16. The RAF was the biggest part of his life and he made many good friends over the years. As a flight sergeant in the Catering Corps he organized many large functions one of which the Queen Mother attended and Michael was honoured to shake her hand. The RAF took him around the world including Libya, Hong Kong and the Falklands and he was stationed all over the UK. When he retired in the early nineties he threw himself in to Wendover life caring for his Mother, Auntie Maggie and Mrs Pearce. Michael also looked after his neighbor. He became a well-known and popular figure in the street and made many close friends. Michael would

meadow, a management plan was adopt ed th at inc lude d the re introduction of a number of walnut trees, the establishment of a wetland zone and the creation of a low nutrient sustainable meadow. The District Council claims that whilst it wishes to manage the land in the most flexible way possible, it does not wish to see any part of the land permanently used for a specific purpose such as an orchard!
View from the Chair
The Parish Council position is that the time frame for this management plan has now lapsed without the walnut trees being planted and in any case there is abundant room within the meadow for AVDC’s management plan to be fulfilled alongside a modest community orchard. The Parish Council would draw attention to the fact that it already owns and manages a far greater area of recreational land within the Parish boundary than does AVDC. Consequentially it can see no justification for expressions of concern about liabilities’ arising from a failed project; which in any case would not arise if the meadow passed in to the ownership of the local council. The Parish Council further contends that were it not for its and The Wendover Society’s endeavours at a Public Inquiry, the land in question would now be built over and might not have fallen in to AVDC’s hands following the defining of the Metropolitan Green Belt in this area.
