Wendover Parish Council Matters Arising View from the Chair
This View from the Chair is being written early as I hope to manage to fly off to sunny climes tomorrow with many others, as long as the flight goes ahead and we get through security. If the baggage doesn’t make it, never mind! So, we had a glorious day on the Witchell with our Picnic in the Park, the weather was just right, not too hot but pleasant and sunny. Rob Butler MP rushed back from the Trooping of the Colour to join us, and we met many residents on our tour of the cricket ground. It was fantastic to see so many people enjoying themselves and listening to the dulcet tones of the superb duo Ellis & Green.

I am so glad that we had managed to present him with it a few years ago in recognition of his unstinting work for Wendover. I also attended the mayor making for Aylesbury, which was an interesting event but did not include an official weigh-in to see if the outgoing Mayor had gained from his year in office! We congratulate Tim Dixon as the new mayor and wish him a successful and happy term of office. That’s all for now, enjoy the start of the summer months. Sheila Bulpett
