View from the Chair
Since my last view, I am delighted to report that the Parish Council has re-elected me as the Chair for this year. The new Council met on 17 May and Committee memberships have been decided. At our meeting on 1 June, we were delighted to co-opt a further three Councillors and we very much look forward to working with them, encouraging them to make use of their various skills for the good of Wendover. Welcome Clive Gallagher, Julie Lloyd Evans and Ruth Malleson, there are still two vacancies, and anyone interested should contact the Clerk for details.
ambiance of Wendover is conserved during planning applications. Congratulations to John Currell, Hannah Hook, Alan Myers, Peter Lockett, Susanna Allford, Jonathan Clover and Jane Larkham Current ongoing work within the Parish includes a second consultation for the parking review, accessing funding for repair of the canal towpath, looking at designs for inclusive play equipment to be placed in Hampden Meadow and a skate park on Ashbrook, to name but a few. HS2 has been mentioned earlier so I will leave that for now. Hopefully by the time you read this, lockdown will have moved on further, but stay safe! Sheila Bulpett

Wendover Good Neighbour Scheme
On a delightful day, Wednesday 2 June, the Council awarded four Community awards to: Lillah Alderson (Outstanding Young Person), Ron Melville (Volunteer of the Year), Staff of Abbeyfield House (Service with a Smile) and Marilyn Storer (Lifetime Achievement). In addition, the excellent work and commitment of the Wendover Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group (2015-2020) was recognised by awarding each member, the Freedom of the Parish. This is the highest honour that a Council can bestow and was extremely well deserved. The Neighbourhood Plan is considered and used to help ensure that the character and www.facebook.com/wendoverparish/
For the past year, during an unprecedented time, the Parishioners of Wendover have been supported with an army of volunteers helping those in need due to the pandemic restrictions. It has been an extraordinary example of community spirit, selflessness and commitment from those who set up the scheme, maintained it over the past year and all the voluntary wardens. Our most heartfelt thanks go to every single one of those who stepped up to help and provide support where it was needed the most. As we hopefully come out of lockdown over the coming month or so, the need for support, we anticipate, will continue to reduce. The wardens who are still
supporting their neighbours will continue to do so at their discretion based on the need, whilst the entire Good Neighbour Scheme will be placed as a ‘reserve force’ into our Parish Emergency Plans for when the Parish requires it in the future. We sincerely hope that all our Parishioners will be able to enjoy Wendover and the surrounding villages opening around us and wish everyone a happy and healthy summer.
