What’s Happening
Christmas is a magical time for kids and meeting Father Christmas is a highlight of the year for little ones. Children can meet Santa in his indoor fairytale grotto and receive a present, join in with various Christmas activities and enjoy festive refreshments and seasonal treats!
The Parish Council’s ‘Bag It and Bin It’ Campaign
The Parish Council has received numerous reports of dog waste being bagged and dumped or hung on gates and hedges around the village. Please read our important message about dog fouling and your responsibility as a dog owner.
Paying Council Invoices
We have set up a PayPal account which allows us to collect payments to the council as easily as possible. Please contact the Clerk for more information if you wish to use this method!
Where are we working this week?
Now the weather has hopefully changed for the better our grounds team have started our spring/summer program.
- We’ve cut back as many hedges as we are able too. You may receive a letter asking you to cut back your bush/hedge if it’s found to be growing into the footpath. These block access for buggies, wheelchairs and those on mobility scooters..
- A tree adjacent to the doctor’s surgery requires urgent attention. A contractor will be performing the work on behalf of the council.
- The football field and School Lane greenspace have both had recent cuts. These may be the last cuts of the season weather dependant.
- Additional car park capacity at Anstey Close is underway. Mark from Stonethorpe is carrying out the work. Please give him a wave!

Let us know what you think
A belated thank you for the lunch that was provided for us over 60’s at the Village Hall. It was a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon, it gave me a chance to meet villagers that I don’t normally have contact with. All your had work was really appreciated. Hopefully, there will be another one.
Please will you pass on my thanks to whoever was responsible for the placement of a ‘second dog bin’ alongside the garages – pathway (off Silk Street).
It was exciting to see it in all it’s splendour alongside the older one yesterday! (Little things make a big difference) – and especially since this area is well used. It is a lovely pathway for not only dog walkers but the many visitors to Waddesdon too!
