Wendover Parish Council Matters Arising View from the Chair
It’s been a busy time with the Council as we have had the Annual Parish Meeting at the Chiltern Way Academy, a pleasant evening with an fascinating talk from Paul Coffey, the Head. It was good to share the successes of the Council with members of the public and to present awards to outstanding members of the community: Service with a Smile - Istanbul Meze & Grill, Volunteer of the Year - Jan Ward from the Chilterns MS Centre, Business of the Year - Wendover Motor Spares, Lifetime Achievement - Jonathan Seabrook from Wendover Cricket Club, The Parish Council Award - Robert Duggan.
Wendover Produce Market Saturday 18 June, 10am to 2pm Manor Waste Meet our new Clerk Lynda Baker
I started my role in early May and look forward to serving the Community and Councillors of Wendover Parish. Apart from a recent sojourn in Wales, I have lived all my life in and around the Wendover area. I grew up in Princes Risborough and lived for over 30 years Steve Bowles gave an update on the grant for in Aylesbury, just off the Wendover Road, before the Memorial Hall PA system and Robert Duggan moving to North Powys in 2018. on behalf of the Wendover Dementia Alliance. I have also been re-elected as the Chair for another For the last 2 years I have been working for Powys year. WPC are currently organising the Platinum County Council together with NHS Wales and Jubilee Picnic in the Witchell for 2 June, free to all Welsh Government managing a team helping with the pandemic effort. (see advert, right). There has been a real increase in dog mess on verges and streets in the Parish. This is both unpleasant and a hazard for the Grounds Team so I would urge dog walkers to make sure that they clean up, including when dogs are off their lead that is, in the parks.
I hope that my previous career experience working with various UK corporations as well as local government will stand me in good stead as I commence my role as Clerk, which I am already learning is a multiple and varied role.
On a sad note, esteemed local, Tony Mogford sadly passed away in April and his funeral is on 27 May. A supporter of Wendover in all its facets, he was also an AVDC councillor for 25 years and with BCC until 1985. His wise counsel and friendship will be sorely missed, and our thoughts are with his family at this time.
Outside of work I enjoy walking in the Chilterns, watching rugby and continuing my new hobby of Stand-Up Paddle Boarding (SUP), which I started in Wales in Aberdyfi, and hope to continue in Buckinghamshire.
