Thanks for Honesty

Monday 20 March, I dropped my purse outside Budgens. A very kind person picked it up and handed it in to Budgens, who returned it to me.

Many thanks for the kindness and honesty of the unknown finder – you really are a lifesaver!

No local elections in Buckinghamshire

Thursday 4 May 2023

Just to confirm, there are no local elections in Buckinghamshire in May this year.

Local elections for Buckinghamshire Council and Wendover Parish Council were held in May 2021. They had been postponed from May 2020 for well known reasons. Full details of all Buckinghamshire Council candidates in our wards, including photos, were published on pages 16 and 17 of that issue of Wendover News. There were not enough candidates for elections in local Parish Councils.

The results of the May 2021 Buckinghamshire Council elections were published on the front page of the June 2022 print edition of Wendover News. Details of Parish Councillors in Wendover and Weston Turville, including photos, were published on pages 12 and 13.

Past copies of Wendover News are accessed at wendovernews.co.uk/print-editions/.

If you have restless children on Bank Holiday Monday, why not take them to see an ancient tradition at an iconic site? If that's too early for you, they're back at Chiltern View Garden Centre by 10.30am.

St Mary’s churchyard Tidy Up day

The third day of the Coronation has been designated as an opportunity for everybody to get together, volunteering on projects that benefit the whole community. St Mary's church are using the day to also benefit one of Wendover’s favourite quiet spaces!

Can you spare a couple of hours and some elbow grease to help us maintain St Mary’s churchyard? This beautiful, peaceful space is enjoyed by the community and our local wildlife. Join us from 10:00am to 12:30pm on Monday 8 May. Bring your own tools. Tea and coffee will be provided.

Chilterns Light Network

We are a non profit community group who meet up weekly to socialise, participate in, or listen to talks on, a wide variety of topics. For example: food growing, health, current events,

A small team of very experienced volunteers are paving the way for the transition. If you have already volunteered, don’t worry – we have not forgotten you! There’s quite a lot of work to be done to set up the company and establish the business systems to maintain the high standards set by Jane Larkham and her team.

Once the Community Interest Company has been established, we will be contacting volunteers to see who could take on specific roles and tasks. Our aim is to ensure that everybody in the volunteer team participates on their own terms and that they have clearly defined and rewarding tasks and responsibilities. Let’s not forget that a team of over fifty volunteers who are already in place – and have been for years – deliver Wendover News copies through over three thousand letterboxes every month. Next time you see one of these, don’t forget to thank them.

Under the new ownership, things will change. But they won’t change suddenly…... Advertisers should be assured that everything that makes Wendover News so valuable, will be carried along through the transition. It’s only by looking after advertisers that we can continue to serve the community the way we do.
