Review from the Chair
By the time you read this, the new Wendover Parish Council will be in place and a Chairman elected. The Councillors have been elected unopposed as there were too few to need an election. We have spaces, so if you are keen to be involved in the work of the Parish, please contact the Clerk at clerk@wendover-pc.gov.uk for details of applying for co-option. It would be great to have Councillor representation from the Princess Mary Gate estate and Dunsmore areas – could this be you?

Meet our new Clerk Louise Hayday
I was delighted to take up the post of Parish Clerk from 26 April 2021. I have joined the Parish Council at an interesting time: a new Council, a post-Covid world, HS2, the closure of RAF Halton and a climate emergency are going to give me the challenges that I thrive on. I look forward to providing support for the local community and assisting the Wendover Councillors in implementing the voice of the local people. www.facebook.com/wendoverparish/
It is important that incidents are reported in order for our local police to build a picture of what is happening in our local area and use their available manpower accordingly.
